Prosjekt
Overturning circulation in the new Arctic (ArMOC)
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.

Other projects
Navigating the Uncharted Territory of the Anthropocene Climate
How much carbon must be removed to prevent too much global warming? Is it possible to alter the Earth’s energy balance by managing incoming solar radiation? These are some of the questions addressed in the NAVIGATE project.
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.
