We study methane release in the Arctic Ocean. Centre for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate. Norwegian Centre of Excellence. @uitromso @forskningsradet
Today is officially our last day as a Centre of Excellence funded by @forskningsradet.
Its been a very exciting decade, filled with a lot of excellent science and discoveries as we investigated the role of gas hydrates for the Arctic environment and climate! (1/2)
We´re excited to start our new Centre of Excellence on 1st July 2023. iC3 - Centre for ice, Cryosphere, Carbon and Climate” funded by Norwegian Research Council and hosted by Dept. Geoscience @UiTNorgesarktis in partnership with @NorskPolar and @NORCEresearch 😃
Authors from @CAGE_COE find evidence of >30 episodes of #glaciation in the #BarentsSea shelf which scraped off layers of rocks and led to petroleum reservoirs exposed onto the seafloor. Those produce strong fluxes of #methane gas and #oil into the #ocean https://t.co/wbIGGMf3rB
One of the most active sub-marine #methane release hotspots globally has been discovered in the #Arctic.
Our paper in @NatureComms shows how glacial erosion and geology control the natural leakage of this fossil gas and oil in the #Barents sea.

📢 A new modelling perspective into the spatial and temporal patterns of #erosion beneath the Eurasian ice sheet during the last glacial cycle.
Within the geological blink of an eye #ice had the equivalent impact of levelling Mt #Everest 500 times over!

We just published two new datasets containing multibeam seafloor data from the Arctic by researcher @pasha_srv and professor @GiulianaPanier2 from @CAGE_COE. Have a look: https://t.co/kXgD59NLgy and https://t.co/0LedYckzwT
And we’d like to wrap up by saying a big thank you to all our staff, collaborators, and friends, for all of your hard work and dedication that has truly contributed to the success of CAGE. (2/2) @UiTNorgesarktis

Enjoying the final Scientific Advisory Committee review of @CAGE_COE Centre for Arctic Gas Hydrates, Environment & Climate, albeit remotely.
A truly world leading 10 year programme completes this year, led by Karin Andreassen of @UiTNorgesarktis#geoscience#methane#climate
Monica Winsborrow skal lede det kommende forskningssenteret Centre for Ice, Cryosphere, Carbon and Climate (iC3). iC3 er ett av totalt ni sentre som i fjor høst fikk innvilget status som Senter for fremragende forskning (SFF). https://t.co/Kpwkb6TTvu #SFF@CAGE_COE@geoforskning
Nematodes living at Arctic cold seeps! interesting results now presented by João Balsa in his master presentation at the university of algarve

📢New research @NatureComms shows that the immense ice sheet that covered Europe during the last Ice Age excavated the bedrock equivalent of more than 500 Mt Everests!

Finally!! Today we recorded our Foraminifera Boogie with 16 kids from the TRINT international school at the Kysten Recording Studio in Tromsø 🪕 🌊🌊 @AKMAproject@CAGE_COE @janesnation @GiulianaPanier2
We had our last CAGE Christmas seminar on 30th November. It was a nice day full of joy and cool science which was followed by a very nice Christmas concert by Anne Nymo Trulsen. Thank you everyone who participated in person and online!
