Completed projects

SeaPR

Sea levels are rising worldwide, a change that threatens more and more regions. In the project "Sea level predictions and reconstructions", important gaps in sea level research will be filled. A particular spotlight is also placed on the northern high latitudes.

SAR DIGITAL ICE TWIN

In the project "Synergy of SAR, radiometry, and altimetry for Digital Arctic Sea Ice Twin", the researchers improve sea ice warnings by using different satellite data sets. There must be a focus on small scales.

SLBC CCI+

In the project "Climate change initiative sea level budget closure follow-on", research is conducted on the global sea level budget, and we focus on the Nordic seas and the Arctic Ocean.

NorHAB-ML

Harmful algae blooms happen when specific algae produce toxins. They have impacts on both human health and on the economy of aquacultures. The project “Machine learning for prediction and projection of harmful algae blooms hazards” (NorHAB-ML) aims to enhance the accuracy of predicting harmful algae blooms (HABs). In particular, the project will develop a new algorithm for improving the accuracy of remote sensing on the Norwegian shelf and using coastal modelling products. NorHAB-ML aims to predict HABs harmful for aquaculture accurately, as well as high biomass bloom that can be harmful to fisheries. The geographic focus lies on the Norwegian coastal and shelf waters.

ARKTALAS CCN 2

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.

S23Eddy Phase 2

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?

Climate projections for Reisa National Park and Pasvik Nature Reserve

This project is co-developed with national park managers. It diagnoses future climate scenarios for Northern Norway along warm-wet and cold-dry axes. Using regional climate models, it assesses plausible changes in ecosystems and recreational uses — such as winter activities, fishing, and birdwatching — across selected national parks, informing adaptive strategies.

SCOPE

Carbon in the ocean is of great importance for the carbon cycle and thus the climate. How the amount and distribution of carbon changes over time is something that the researchers in the project "Satellite-based observations of Carbon in the Ocean: Pools, fluxes and Exchanges" study with the help of satellites.

HarSval

The project "A bilateral initiative for harmonisation of the Svalbard cooperation" aims to strengthen bilateral relations between Norway and Poland, expand the network of partners and the scope of existing research activities, as well as transfer knowledge, technology, experience and best practices.

CoRea

In order to understand what leads to variations in the climate and what proportion is man-made, information from back in time is needed. The project "Coupled reanalysis of the climate back to 1850" will create a look back at the climate (a reanalysis) from 1850 to today - 170 years, with a major focus on changes in the sea.
