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.
DEWPAD
-
Analyse EURO-CORDEX to create a dataset of extreme winds and extreme precipitation.
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.
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.
MAPARC
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
Mechanism and prediction of the new Arctic climate system
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.

Completed Projects
Marine Data i Arktis
-
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.
TRAKT-2018
-
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
-
Useful Arctic Knowledge - Partnership for Research and Education funded by the INTPART program.
RISES
-
This is a strategic project of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research.
TOPVOYS
-
The project aims to implement analyses tools and decision support system for voyage optimization and to find the “best route” for a ship based on the marine weather forecasts, ship characteristics and cargo requirements.
EMULATE
-
Improving understanding of circulation biases in climate models and linking these to downstream extreme events.
CHEX
-
To provide policy-relevant information through improved projections of climate hazards and extremes, by integrating long-term time series from proxy records with numerical model output and Earth observation data.
ALERTNESS
-
To develop world leading capacity for the delivery of reliable and accurate Arctic weather forecasts and warnings for the benefit of maritime operations, business and society.
GCloudl
-
Global warming is rapidly transforming Arctic clouds. This collaboration documents the changes.
