After an already strong commitment to Norwegian Biodiversity Genomics earlier this year, CEG showed an even stronger commitment to Norwegian Biosystematics at the first ever “Norsk symposium i biosystematikk” organized by Artsdatankena and the Natural History Museum last week in Oslo. With 10 out of 49 contributed talks […]

Etter et allerede sterkt engasjement for norsk biodiversitetsgenomikk tidligere i år, viste CEG et enda sterkere engasjement for norsk biosystematikk på tidenes første «Norsk symposium i biosystematikk» som ble arrangert av Artsdatankena og Naturhistorisk Museum i Oslo forrige uke. Med 10 av 49 foredrag og “flash talks” bidro […]

In their daily work early career students and scientists are usually very busy with generating and interpreting data for their scientific projects. But it is equally important to discuss results and methods. While scientific conferences offer such opportunities in official settings, the annual Master, PhD and PostDoc Days […]

In the last month, Sunniva Løviknes and Jan Einar Amundsen successfully defended their Master theses they had conducted the last two years in our group. Congratulations to this very interesting project. Both worked on very similar topics. Around the world the number of artificial beaches and even islands […]

Den siste måneden har Sunniva Løviknes og Jan Einar Amundsen disputert for sine masteroppgaver som de har gjennomført de siste to årene i vår gruppe. Vi gratulerer med dette svært interessante prosjektet. Begge arbeidet med svært like temaer. Rundt om i verden øker antallet kunstige strender og til […]

By August 2024 the Natural History Museum (NHM) at the University of Oslo turned 25 years. Not that the entire institutions is that young, but in 1999 the NHM was formally created by the merger of the earlier Botanical, Zoological, Geological and Paleontological museums as well as the […]

Tuesday 13. September the Natural History Museum invited the new Master students in Biology at the University of Oslo to a presentation of potential Masers projects. CEG was represented by Lutz Bachmann who intorduced the opportunities within the CEG research group. It was great to see that very […]

Denne våren dro noen av oss i CEG-gruppen på ekskursjon til øya Sylt, som ligger ved Nordsjøkysten i Tyskland, like ved grensen til Danmark (Figur 1). Biologisk forskning har lange tradisjoner i dette området og Sylt er en av de få «hotspottene» i verden innen meiofaunaforskning. Heldigvis ligger […]

This spring some of us at the CEG group went on a field trip to the island of Sylt, located on the North Sea coast of Germany, very close to the border with Denmark (Figure 1). Biological research has a long tradition in this area, and Sylt in […]

The first ArtsDatabanken of our group member Torsten Struck finished successfully this month. The project was “Biodiversity in the marine algae belt” together with collaborators from the University of Skøvde (Sweden), University of Gothenborg (Sweden), Humboldt-University Berlin (Germany) and University of Bonn (Germany). The project started four years […]
