The Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen (Norwegian: Geofysisk institutt) is a marine research facility located in Bergen, Norway. Founded in 1917 by Bjørn Helland-Hansen, the institute studies the field of oceanography dealing with the patterns of the weather in the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Norway. Within recent years, focus has been increasingly on geophysics and environmental research. The research activities at the institute span from small scale measurement of turbulence up to studies of the large scale ocean currents, from local air and noise pollution up to studies of global scale climate change.

  • The Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen (Norwegian: Geofysisk institutt) is a marine research facility located in Bergen, Norway. Founded in 1917 by Bjørn Helland-Hansen, the institute studies the field of oceanography dealing with the patterns of the weather in the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Norway. Within recent years, focus has been increasingly on geophysics and environmental research. The research activities at the institute span from small scale measurement of turbulence up to studies of the large scale ocean currents, from local air and noise pollution up to studies of global scale climate change. Areas of research focus on the Norwegian Current, the West Spitsbergen Current and the Norwegian Sea. Shifts and fluctuations in these currents are monitored, as they are thought to be indicators for climate change. Research has included CO2 sequestration and related matters dealing with Carbon capture and storage. Since 2020 Tor Eldevik is the director of the institute. Previous directors were amongst others Dr. Peter M. Haugan, Nils Gunnar Kvamstø and Øystein Hov. The Bergen School of Meteorology, which led to modern weather forecasting, was developed at the Geophysical Institute by Vilhelm Bjerknes and collaborators (including Carl-Gustaf Rossby) beginning in 1917.

  • L’Institut géophysique de l'Université de Bergen (norvégien : Geofysisk institutt) est un centre de recherche marine situé à Bergen, en Norvège. Fondé en 1917 par Bjørn Helland-Hansen, on y étudie l'océanographie physique et ses relations avec la météorologie de l'océan Atlantique Nord au large des côtes de la Norvège. Ces dernières années, l'accent a été de plus en plus sur la géophysique et la recherche environnementale. Les activités de recherche de l'institut vont de la mesure à petite échelle de la turbulence, aux études des courants océaniques à grande échelle, de la pollution de l'air et de la pollution sonore jusqu'aux études sur le changement climatique à l'échelle mondiale. L'école de météorologie de Bergen, qui a conduit à la prévision météorologique moderne, fut fondée à l'Institut par Wilhelm Bjerknes et ses collaborateurs (dont Carl-Gustaf Rossby) en 1917. (fr)
