Marine Sewage Outfalls – Environmental Impact Evaluation (SANOCEAN) focusing on ocean research including blue economy, climate change, environmental research and sustainable energy.
The industry of aquaculture is a fast-growing industry. An international project from UiS will help solve sustainability issues in this industry by using economic theory.
The project will investigate beacons or warning fires that were lit during attacks on the country in the Viking Age and the Middle Ages. We will uncover the deeper social organisations at work when a society is facing recurrent threats and explore how war and fear-driven reactions affects and institutionalises societies.
The Porous Liquids project aims at developing a new technology for environmentally friendly and efficient separation of carbon dioxide.

In its broadest sense, mathematical physics may be construed as the application of rigorous mathematical methods to problems in physics.
Subatomic Physics and Cosmology covers particle and nuclear physics, as well as astroparticle physics, Big Bang-physics and gravitational waves (PACT).
The mathematical statistics group does research both in statistical methodology and the application of such methodology to real life problems. The group mainly concentrates on the following research fields:
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which classically is devoted to the study of solutions of polynomial equations in several variables, so called algebraic varieties.
PP2A and PP4 (Protein Phosphatase 2A and Protein Phosphatase 4) are conserved enzymes found in all eukaryotes and are in fact crucial for biological functions in all kinds of eukaryotic cells.
The research group lead by Hanne R. Hagland studies metabolic flexibility in cell systems.
The research group led by Professor Peter Ruoff studies cellular metabolism and circadian systems using both molecular biology and computational methods.
Photosynthesis is the fundamental metabolic process on earth that has successfully enabled organisms to sustain evolutionary extinction. Molecular machines operating in photosynthetic organisms could provide humans with a blueprint for a corresponding technology development to balance climate change.
