Abstract:  "The study of foliations falls largely into two parts: One can study the leaf geometry or one can study transversally elliptic operators. The leaf geometry consists of studying the individual submanifolds and how they lie within the manifold. On the other hand, the study of transversally elliptic operators was initiated in the seminal work of Atiyah. This talk will be arranged as follows: The first part will be an introduction to Riemannian foliations and transverse geometry, and the second part is a survey of the results on transversally elliptic operators, foliated gauge theory and some recent work."

Title: Modeling the drift and radar backscatter signature of icebergs, by Ron Saper, Carleton University, Canada. 

Abstract: Icebergs are a source of wonder and mystery, and hide many mysteries that remain to be solved. In the quest to observe icebergs remotely and predict their behaviour, many difficulties are encountered and, at every turn, we find the expectations of engineers and researchers are frustrated. In this wide-ranging talk the many misconceptions and fallacies about icebergs are surveyed and analyzed, and their impact on scientific research and practice are explained and reflected upon. Examples are drawn from iceberg drift forecasting, remote sensing, and iceberg tracking studies.

Two guest lectures on global seabird conservation, and population-level responses to pollutants in polar seabirds

Steffen Hagstotz, Stockholm University

De to foreleserne på Kristine Bonnevie-forelesningene 2019 er nobelprisvinnerene Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard og May-Britt Moser. Mosers foredrag er en multimediakonsert sammen med Trondheimssolistene. Åpent for alle, men alle gjester bes forhåndsregistrere seg for å sikre seg plass.

We invite to mingle and welcome party for the academic year 2019/2020! Hot dogs and cakes will be served. We welcome our new students and employees and welcome all "old hands" back to ITA. The candidates who finished their master's degrees in June will be given their degree diplomas.  We will also give important information about safety issues, and about the coming move back to the Blindern campus.
