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
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
Climate Futures
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
Our goal is to generate long-term cooperation between companies, public organizations and research groups across sectors to tackle climate risk
CoRea
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
The CoRea is a "Young Research Talents" Project funded by the Research Council of Norway.
ROADMAP
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction
Role of ocean dynamics and Ocean-Atmosphere interactions in Driving cliMAte variations and future Projections of impact-relevant extreme events
ARIA
-
Climate Dynamics and Prediction, Sea Ice Modelling
Arctic cyclones can break up and reshape the Arctic sea-ice cover and can be expected to do so more readily as the ice grows thinner due to anthropogenic climate change. Processes driven by Arctic cyclones can enhance the rate of melting of the ice and increase its export out of the Arctic. We hypothesise that surface coupling (interactions between the ocean, sea ice and atmosphere) play a crucial role in determining the life cycle of Arctic cyclones, and the effect they have on the sea ice.

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.
EUREC4A-OA
-
Improving the representation of small-scale nonlinear ocean-atmosphere interactions in Climate Models by innovative joint observing and modelling approaches.
NICEST-2
-
NICEST-2 - the second phase of the Nordic Collaboration on e-Infrastructures for Earth System Modeling focuses on strengthening the Nordic position within climate modeling by leveraging, reinforcing and complementing ongoing initiatives.
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.
