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
ArMOC
-
The ArMOC project will provide new, fundamental knowledge about key oceanic processes for the Arctic overturning circulation and their sensitivity to climate change. ArMOC will accordingly lead to reduced uncertainties in projections of Arctic climate change and an improved understanding of the role of the Arctic Ocean in global ocean circulation changes.
ANTHROPIC
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction, Ocean Modeling
The ANTHROPIC project uses the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM) to project the future dispersion patterns of radionuclides in the North Atlantic-Arctic Ocean and to assess the associated radioecological risks, taking into account of different climate change scenarios and potential sources of radioactive contaminants.
HiAOOS
-
HiAOOS will develop, implement, and validate several ocean observing technologies to improve data collection in the ice-covered Arctic Ocean. A network of multipurpose moorings will be deployed for two years in the deep Nansen and Amundsen Basins.
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.

Completed Projects
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
KeyCLIM
-
The KeyCLIM project set out to better understand, calculate and reduce the uncertainty related to climate change in Northern Latitudes, especially in the Arctic. The project group has assembled new model scenarios and data documenting large and partly irreversible climate changes in the north for the next 50-300 years.
MUDYFEET
-
Developing tools to investigate multi-scalar dynamics of extreme precipitation events over Norway.
AOIP
-
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
CAATEX
-
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
-
Dette prosjektet skal lage en dynamisk oversikt over relevante observasjons-systemer, datasamlinger og dataforvaltningssystemerfor Arktiske hav-områder og dermed øke nytteverdien av innsamlede data.
INES
-
Developement of the Norwegian Earth System model in preparation for CMIP7.
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
-
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.
