Why the Gulfstream never stops

A collapse of the Gulf Stream could have major consequences. Fortunately, there is no reason to believe that this is going to happen.

  • Statsraaden Bar & Reception, Bradbenken 2

In this event, moderated by Lars Henrik Smedsrud (UiB’s new Vice Dean for UiB Ocean), two researchers explore what Gulf Stream observations reveal today and what models indicate about its future.

Ocean Science Bar is a collaboration between Statsraad Lehmkuhl, the University of Bergen, the Institute of Marine Research, NORCE, and the Nansen Center. At the Statsraaden Bar & Reception you are welcome to enjoy highlights from marine research and ocean related issues in informal and relaxing surroundings.
