Completed projects

CLIMATE FUTURES

"Climate Futures" is a center for Research-based Innovation that aims to produce new and innovative solutions to be able to predict and manage climate risks from ten days to ten years in the future. Stakeholders from various fields such as insurance, shipping, agriculture, fisheries, hydropower, public agencies and more, work closely together in the project.

SMART OCEAN

The center for research-driven innovation "Smart Ocean" is developing a new underwater sensor and communication system along the Norwegian coastline to improve the sustainable management of marine resources, industrial equipment and structure in these regions.

UAK-2

The project "Useful Arctic Knowledge: Training, Collaboration, and Innovation in ocean observing" is a continuation of UAK and will support long-term collaboration between teaching and research institutions in Norway, the USA and Canada within selected themes in the Arctic.

C3-eKerala

In the project "Climate change impact on the marine coastal ecosystem of Kerala", researchers from the Nansen Center and India investigate how climate change, through sea-level rise and waves, affects the coasts and ecosystems along the coast in the state of Kerala in India. They want to find out more about the changes so that authorities and societal actors can better plan climate adaptation measures.

HiAOOS

The Arctic Ocean is an exciting area for researchers. Increased knowledge about the Arctic is of great importance because climate models can be improved if we get more data from the region. In order to obtain better information about the sea under the ice, new technologies will be developed in the project "High Arctic Ocean Observation System".

ForWArd

With the decline in Arctic sea ice in the last decades, and the trend expecting to continue in the future, the Arctic Ocean is more and more exposed to larger waves due to winds. In the "Forecasting wave impact as Arctic sea ice declines" project,  the impact of waves on sea-ice evolution in the rougher and rougher Arctic Ocean will be assessed.    

DynAMIC

The project "Detecting episodes of Arctic sea ice Mass Imbalance" will combine existing satellites to detect 3D sea-ice mass balance snapshots. The project will use machine learning to optimise the sea ice ridging scheme in models and build Norwegian capacity in sea-ice observation-model integration.

ARC-FRESH

The overall objective of the "Arctic Freshwater Budget" project is to advance the current state of knowledge on the freshwater fluxes and freshwater budget in the Arctic Ocean, maximizing the use of Earth Observation-derived ECV datasets generated in the Climate Change Initiative program of the European Space Agency.

ARCA

The project "Biocultural Heritage in Arctic Cities: Resource for Climate Adaptation?" aims to understand how traditional ecological knowledge and Indigenous knowledge, and human-environment relationships that form the core of biocultural heritage can contribute to climate change adaptation in urban areas and surrounding landscapes. The focus lies on Fairbanks and Nome (USA), and Kirkenes and Tromsø (Norway).  

ARCFISH

The project “Digital Twin of the Ocean for Arctic Fisheries” is a Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (SBEP) project that will develop a pilot Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO) Platform delivering new data products and services in support of sustainable Arctic Fisheries. These data products and services will be co-designed with stakeholders in the fisheries sector to create products such as ecosystem indices that can be applied in fisheries planning and management.
