Projects
The Nansen Center is a project oriented international research centre focusing on the basic research within marine environment and ocean forecasting, satellite remote sensing and climate studies and modelling. Our research is funded by projects granted through competitive calls by research councils, space agencies, EU, national and international government agencies, industry and private donations.
Some of our on-going research projects are listed below. The list is being populated with the most recent and on-going projects and later updated with other major completed research projects.
Ongoing Projects
URSA-MAJOR
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
URSA-MAJOR will redress of education and training for Smart-City development.
COMBINED
-
COMBINED is to enhance understanding of the accelerated Arctic and TP's warming processes at different timescales, explore the two-pole feedback mechanisms addressing
their combined impact, and to advance Eurasian climate prediction.
PARCIM
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
SKD-PARCIM is a strategic project at the Bjerknes Center for Climate Research (2022-2025) that combines novel model devellopements, improved paleoproxy observations, and understanding of multidecadal climate variability. Paleo-proxy observations will be used to produced an online climate reanalysis of the past milenium. They will also be used to mitigate long lasting model bias in climate models.
MAPARC
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
Mechanism and prediction of the new Arctic climate system
4SICE
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
4SICE is a four-year project co-funded by the Research Council of Norway and the Ministry of Science and Technology of China.
BASIC
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
To understand the consequences of more open Arctic sea water in summer and increasing ice-growth in winter for the Arctic and Eurasian climate
TARDIS
-
A project bigger on the inside.
PECO2
-
Ocean and Sea Ice Remote Sensing
The PECO2 project is funded by the Research Council of Norway INPART program for 3-years from 2021 through 2023 and shall strengthen international partnerships in operational oceanography and marine services.
SEAMLESS
-
The overall objective of SEAMLESS is to provide CMEMS with new capabilities to deliver indicators of climate-change impacts and food security in marine ecosystems.
SPECIAL
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
SPECIAL is an institute PhD program funded by NFR. The PhD student will devellop machine learning techniques to quantifies the risk of occurrence of a harmfull algae bloom on seasonal time scale

Completed Projects
DEWPAD
-
Analyse EURO-CORDEX to create a dataset of extreme winds and extreme precipitation.
NCKS
-
This is a collaboration project to support ongoing and planned collaboration with the Danish Meteorological Institute
PredictingNorwegianExtremeSeaLevel
-
To develop a sea-level indicator that can be used to predict near-term (decadal) changes in extreme sea-level variability along the Norwegian coast.
FyB
-
Float Your Boat vil sette ut 400 trebåter på sjøisen i Arktis for å følge deres bevegelser med vind og havstrømmer fra Polhavet og ut i det Nordiskehavet som en del av skoleundervisning i naturfag.
Arctic Synthesis
-
This is a short project to support a synthesis paper on the Nordic seas led by M Miles
VOLCANOES4CMIP
-
To develop moethodologies for incorporating plausible future volcanic erruptions into CMIP climate projections.
AMTEC
-
Developing a synthesis paper on Eruasian cooling and Arctic to mid-latitude teleconnections.
SERUS
-
More than 80% of the Arctic population is living in 110 cities. Open space converts a settlement to a location with sense-of-place and values. Green (vegetated) and blue (water) spaces, being the areas of public attraction, recreation and eco-services, make cities livable. We consider green, blue and white space along with built-up areas as components of an interconnected socio-environmental (urban) ecosystem.
CAPARDUS
-
CAPARDUS is a Coordination and Support Action with the goal to explore ongoing processes of developing standards in selected topics of importance in the Arctic.
Arktalas
-
The Arktalas project aims to remove knowledge gaps and advance the insight and quantitative understanding of sea ice, ocean and atmosphere interactive processes and their mutual feedback
