Research projects

This partnership project will strengthen the research and education collaboration of UiO with the University of Tokyo, Konan University and RIKEN Nishina Center in Japan.

MISC is a Norwegian-Chinese-Japanese student and researcher exchange program on the study of microbial surface colonization.

The SolarALMA project was funded with a Consolidator Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) and ran from September 2016 to August 2021. The aim was to utilise the first observations of the Sun with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which promises significant steps towards understanding the outer layers of the solar atmosphere with possible contributions to solving the coronal heating problem.

The Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope (SST) on La Palma is the world leading facility for high resolution observations of the Sun.

All elements in the Universe, except for the lightest ones, are made in stars.

But the heavier elements, like gold, lead and uranium, are not. How are they made?

The purpose of this research project is to explore how teachers and student teachers perceive teaching evaluation as an input for professional growth.

Permafrost is found in about a quarter of the land area in the northern hemisphere. Unlike snow and ice cannot permafrost be "observed" with remote sensing techniques. However satellites collect data regarding permafrost from sensors in field, and permafrost can be modelled numerically using above-ground data sets of temperature and snow depth. We aim in SatPerm to see if such data sets can be used for modelling of permafrost.
