Completed projects

LoVeOcean

In the "Lofoten-Vesterålen Marine Observatory"-project, advanced underwater technology is used to collect key data and provide fundamental new insight into marine processes, organisms, and conditions in the sea. New insights are needed to establish better models that focus on the status of marine ecosystems.

CVL

In the "Cryosphere Virtual Laboratory" project, an easily accessible system is being developed which will give access to a lot of Earth Observation data with a focus on the Arctic. The system will make it possible for users to develop their own systems to deliver information about the rapidly changing Arctic.

FOCUS

In the project "Accounting for forecast uncertainties in communicating sea ice and weather information in the Arctic", researchers work closely with users from the commercial and public sector to improve warning systems for weather and sea ice in the Arctic.

TURBAN

Extreme weather events such as long heat waves or cold spells reduce periods of comfortable temperatures in cities all over the world. In conjunction with increasing air pollution, life in cities is becoming more difficult. Modeling the air conditions in cities is therefore becoming more important and the project "Turbulent-resolving urban modeling of air quality and thermal control" is working on developing suitable methods.

NorArticHE

The project "Positioning Norwegian Arctic research and innovation priorities in Horizon Europe" will establish a Norwegian network of researchers at institutes, universities, administration and industry related to Arctic research and innovation. The aim is to convey and promote Norwegian Arctic interests in the European Commission's Horizon Europe programme.

HARMONY MISSION

The European Space Agency is planning new satellite missions in the future, and one of these is "Harmony". In 2029, two satellites will fly into space and contribute to better monitoring of the climate and related changes in the sea, in the sea ice and on land. In the project "HARMONY Mission Performance and Requirement Consolidation Activity for Ocean Applications", various requirements and performances of the mission will be tested in advance.

ANTHROPIC

In the project "Assessment of climate change's impacts on radioecological safety of subpolar and Nordic marine environment", the researchers are working to predict where radioactive pollution may spread in the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean in the future. They take into account different climate change scenarios and possible emission sources.

RESCOP

In the project "Remote Sensing Monitoring in Marine Ecosystem Based Spatial Planning", models will be tested along the coasts of Norway and Croatia, with a focus on indicators for how healthy the ecosystems along the coasts are.

NICEST-2

The project "The Nordic Collaboration on e-Infrastructures for Earth System Modelling, phase 2" aims to support climate model use by improving workflow. It should be easier to make climate models work as efficiently as possible.

ARCTIC+ SALINITY

Measuring the salinity of the sea in the Arctic with satellites is difficult, but the project "Arctic+ Salinity" aims to do exactly this. This gives you the greatest possible coverage compared to local measurements directly in the water. How much salt there is on the surface of the sea water says something about freshwater movements and thus has an impact on the climate the Arctic undergoes.
