Prosjekt
Infrastructure for Norwegian Earth System Modelling phase 2 (INES2)
NorESM is the Norwegian Earth System Model and is an essential tool for researchers to be able to simulate the climate in the past, present and future. The infrastructure project INES2 will upgrade NorESM with new and updated functionality by incorporating research-driven development in a nationally coordinated manner.

Other projects
Climate Futures
Climate Futures is a Centre for Research-based Innovation (abbreviated SFI in Norwegian), funded by the Research Council of Norway. Climate Futures will co-develop better methods and practices for climate risk management by working with nearly 40 partners in a consortium.
The work in Climate Futures is organized in user-driven projects, ranging from short pilots lasting a few weeks or months to long-term strategic programmes over several years.
Overturning circulation in the new Arctic
Arctic climate is rapidly changing, and it is currently not known how the Arctic overturning circulation is responding. ArMOC will provide comprehensive understanding of the entire Atlantic Water Boundary Current (AWBC)system around the Nordic Seas and the Arctic Ocean from observations, novel insights on Atlantic Water (AW) pathways and transformation within the Arctic Ocean and a first quantification using the approach of thermohaline stream functions.
