ACCIBERG

The presence of sea ice and icebergs in the Arctic Ocean presents challenges for shipping, fisheries and tourism. Rising temperatures lead to increased ship traffic in the area. The project "Arctic Cross-Copernicus forecast products for sea ice and icebergs" aims to create precise warnings about the spread of sea ice and icebergs, both in the near future and through seasonal forecasts. The research will contribute to safer navigation in the Arctic.

EO4SA

The "Earth Observation for Sustainable Aquaculture" project is investigating applications for aquaculture management and the marine industry. Researchers are developing and demonstrating applications related to, among other things, harmful algal blooms affecting the shellfish farming industry and fish mortality due to salmon lice outbreaks.

SuperIce

High resolution of sea-ice thickness is instrumental to provide better seasonal forecasts over the Arctic and to better understand energy fluxes between ocean and atmosphere. The "SuperIce" project will leverage artificial intelligence techniques and physical simulation of the sea-ice model neXtSIM to enhance the spatial resolution of current satellite observations of the Arctic sea ice.

OTC25

The "Ocean Training Course 2025" is part of the One Ocean Expedition, which is a scientific and educational voyage around the Northern Hemisphere oceans, aboard the tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl, in 2025-2026.  The expedition aims to create attention and share knowledge about the ocean’s crucial role for a sustainable future, as part of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. The ship is equipped with state-of-the-art ocean science instruments and will collect data on ocean physics, chemistry and biology throughout the journey. The expedition will also serve as a floating university, bringing students and young leaders together, and as a platform for outreach, inspiration and engagement for the ocean.
