Completed projects

MAXSS

Strong wind events have a major impact on the interaction between air and sea. The project "Marine atmosphere extreme satellite synergy" will improve the observation and characterization of such events, through the use of different data sets from satellites and the earth's surface.

CAPARDUS Extension in Norway

The "CAPARDUS Extension in Norway" project is an additional project to CAPARDUS EU and focuses on network Svalbard with the involvement of players in tourism, the local council, the head of the administration and researchers from both the natural and social sciences. The project will contribute to ensuring that research on the archipelago has societal value.

PILOT PROSJEKT VEIKART

Earth observations from satellites in space are of great importance for various fields, such as research, monitoring and services. The project "Roadmap for national strengthening of interdisciplinary development and use of Earth observations until 2030" will provide an overview of the opportunities to strengthen Norway's role as a leading nation regarding Earth observations from satellites in the northern regions and the Arctic.

OTC23

In connection with the circumnavigation with Statsraad Lehmkuhl, the Nansen Center and ESA are jointly organizing a course on board the sailing ship: "Advanced Ocean Synergy Training Course 2022/23". Students and young researchers take part in a theoretical part before coming on board the sailing ship to take part in the practical training. The aim is to learn how satellite data of the ocean can be used to monitor changes and compared with ocean measurements and model fields. The project is linked to the PECO2 project.

ARKTALAS

The "Arktalas Hoavva" project characterizes large-scale interactive processes and feedbacks that cause changes in the Arctic sea ice and the Arctic Ocean and the surrounding oceans using satellite observations, direct observations and modeling tools.

KeyCLIM

In the project "Key Earth System processes to understand Arctic climate warming and Northern latitude hydrological cycle changes", researchers will improve the Norwegian climate model NorESM with the aim of understanding and reducing the uncertainty of projected climate changes in northern regions, with a focus on Arctic warming.

COMFORT

n the project "Our common future ocean in the Earth system – quantifying coupled cycles of carbon, oxygen, and nutrients for determining and achieving safe operating spaces with respect to tipping points", researchers will find out what possibly happens to marine ecosystems when different tipping points are passed. Experts from different disciplines work closely together and stakeholders are also closely linked to the work.

S23Eddy

In the sea near Lofoten, there are large eddies that can be seen on the surface and reach down to a depth of 1000 m. With the combined use of satellite and ocean data, researchers in the project "Synergy to Characterization of 3D Eddy Structures" are trying to find out more about the eddies. What characterizes the currents, what is their significance for the ecosystem in the area and how is the interaction between the atmosphere and the sea affected?

FYB II

By including school pupils in Norway and the USA, the project "Float Your Boat" aims for the rising generation to better understand processes in the Arctic that affect the climate. The students make small wooden boats and ice buoys that can be followed via GPS on their journey in and out of the Arctic.

CAPARDUS

The project "Capacity-building in Arctic standardization development" investigates how an "Arctic Best Practice System" can be built up as a useful tool for research, business activity and planning in the Arctic. , The project maps standards, guidelines and practical methods used by the local population in areas such as Svalbard, Greenland, Russia and Alaska. The topics included are data collection and data sharing, resource utilization, shipping, tourism, security and communication between researchers and local communities.
