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
AOIP
-
Sea Ice Modelling
This project is about improving our understanding of some atmosphere-ocean-ice interaction processes, as well as our ability to model them and their impact
Marine Data i Arktis
-
Polar Acoustics and Oceanography, Scientific Data Management
Dette prosjektet skal lage en dynamisk oversikt over relevante observasjons-systemer, datasamlinger og dataforvaltningssystemerfor Arktiske hav-områder og dermed øke nytteverdien av innsamlede data.
LEGACY
-
Sea Ice Modelling
The Nansen Legacy provides an integrated scientific knowledge base required for the sustainable management through the 21st century of the environment and marine resources of the Barents Sea and adjacent Arctic Basin.
TRAKT-2018
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
The majority of Nordic population is residing in complex urban environment. The concentrated emission of air pollutants, anthropogenic landscape and local climate modifications are lasting and have distant, often transboundary impact. -
UAK
-
Polar Acoustics and Oceanography, Scientific Data Management
Useful Arctic Knowledge - Partnership for Research and Education funded by the INTPART program.
FRASIL
-
Sea Ice Modelling
On simulating leads in the Arctic sea ice using the new Lagrangian model neXtSIM, and on studying their impact on the ocean mixing, heat budget and primary production.
NFR-INTAROS
-
Polar Acoustics and Oceanography, Scientific Data Management
Hovedmål er å støtte opp om EU-prosjektet INTAROS for å utvikle et integrert multidisiplinært arktisk observasjonssystem ved å utvide, forbedre og sammenkoble eksisterende systemer i ulike deler av Arktis.
ARCONOR
-
Ocean and Sea Ice Remote Sensing
Research and higher education related to sea ice, environment, climate change, and operational conditions in the Arctic Ocean focusing on the Northern Sea Route.
Blue-Action
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
Blue-Action is a 5-year European project of Horizon 2020 Blue Growth coordinated by the Danish Meteorological Institute with 41 partners. Prof. Y. Gao is a key partner and is leading work package 3.
CONNECTED
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
The project aims to further strengthen the research and research training activities between China and Norway.

Completed Projects
SIA
-
Sea ice age (SIA) is an indicator of changing sea ice state together with changing climate.
EmblAUS
-
Bayesian Data Assimilation
KARA3
-
Increase and further evaluate the forecast quality of the current neXtSIM-F forecasting platform, and improve the dissemination of the results to end-users.
DASIM
-
DASIM II follows the 1-year pilot project DASIM I and will explore the mathematical issues for assimilating data in modern sea-ice models
IMOS
-
IMOS will support long-term synergistic cooperation between Russian and Norwegian scientists working in Svalbard by establishing a joint marine plankton observatory in Isfjorden.
iNcREASE
-
InCREASE seeks to improve projections of future sea level in the North Sea and along the Norwegian coast
SPICES
-
SPICES will develop new and innovative sea ice products that can be used as indicators of climate change in the polar ocean, as well as for securing operations in ice-infested waters.
ARC MFC
-
The Arctic Marine Forecasting Center will provide operational forecasts of ocean currents, temperature, salinity, primary production, sea ice and waves out to 10 days ahead as well as reanalyses over the past 25 years.
OSITAC WITS
-
WITS will provide operational (Level 3 and 4) observational multi-mission data products derived from upstream satellite earth observation (L2) data. These data products include important sea surface temperature (SST), sea ice and wind variables.
neXtWIM
-
neXtWIM is focusing on developing an Arctic forecasting platfrom for sea ice and ocean waves, by combining the neXt generation Sea Ice Model neXtSIM and the Waves in Ice Model WIM both currently developed at NERSC.
