We are a cross-disciplinary research group based at the Department of Biological Sciences and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research at the University of Bergen (Norway), working at the interface of ecology, earth sciences, glaciology, and climatology. Our group aims at developing a mechanistic understanding of the role of the dynamic past in shaping present-day patterns of mountain biodiversity and improving predictions for the future.
This website is the main page for our project – The Past, Present and Future of Alpine Biomes Worldwide (PPF-Alpine) – that aims to take a deep dive into the biogeographical history of alpine systems on a global scale and decipher the drivers of present-day alpine biodiversity.
