The Geophysical Institute at the University of Bergen (UiB) is a prominent research center specializing in meteorology, oceanography, climate dynamics, and biogeochemistry. Established in 1917, the institute has a rich history of contributing to our understanding of atmospheric and oceanic processes. Researchers at the institute investigate phenomena ranging from small-scale turbulence to large-scale ocean currents, as well as local air and noise pollution, all within the context of global climate change. Notably, the institute played a pivotal role in developing the Bergen School of Meteorology, which laid the groundwork for modern weather forecasting.
