The Centre for Mountains in Transition (CMT), a new interdisciplinary research centre based at the University of Bergen, dedicated to understanding and addressing the impacts of climate and environmental change in mountain regions.
With a primary focus on the Scandinavian mountains, CMT brings together leading researchers in climate science, ecology, hydrology, geoscience, and social sciences to explore how mountain systems are changing—and how we can build resilience for the future.
CMT aims to generate cutting-edge knowledge and practical solutions to safeguard mountain ecosystems and the communities that depend on them. Through four interconnected research themes—Trends, Seasonality, Extremes, and Resilience—CMT investigates long-term environmental changes, seasonal dynamics, extreme events, and strategies for sustainable mountain management.
