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
CoRea
-
The CoRea is a "Young Research Talents" Project funded by the Research Council of Norway.
FyB
-
Polar Acoustics and Oceanography
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.
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
TRIATLAS
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction, Ocean Modeling
Achieve skillfull south and Tropical Atlantic marine ecosystems prediction
Visit the official TRIATLAS webpage https://triatlas.w.uib.no
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
BCPU
-
Enhance climate prediction to the level where it benefits society
CAATEX
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction, Polar Acoustics and Oceanography, Scientific Data Management
During the MOSAiC drift, two sound sourcs in fixed moorings will transmit a signal which will be received on listen cables in 5 fixed moorings and four drifting drifting receivers hundreds of kilometers away from the sound sources.
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.
SFE
-
The aim of SFE is to develop a state-of-the-art operational seasonal climate prediction system for Northern Europe and the Arctic.
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.

Completed Projects
InterDec
-
InterDec aims at understanding the origin of decadal-scale climate variability in different regions of the world and their linkages, using observational data sets and through coordinated multi-model experiments.
REDDA
-
Big Data methods in geosciences
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.
SNOWGLACE
-
Climate impact of Arctic sea ice and snow cover
GeoAccessNO
-
GeoAccessNo aims to link data, physical samples, software, methodologies and documentation in order to further improve the understanding of the fourth paradigm.
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.
HIARC
-
The project will investigate an ecosystem and societal adaptation to warmer micro-climates created by anthropogenic heat pollution in the urban arctic over the last 30 – 40 years.
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.
