Prosjekt
Sea level projection and reconstruction unit (SeaPR)
The project SeaPR is the new sea level prediction and reconstruction unit at Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research.
We will provide and increase confidence in sea level predictions and projections for more informed decision making.

New Report on sea level in Norway
In 2024, the report “Sea-Level Rise and Extremes in Norway” was published. It was created by the Nansen Center, the Bjerknes Center, NORCE, the Meteorological Institute, and the Norwegian Mapping Authority on behalf of the Norwegian Environment Agency. The report was released by the Norwegian Climate Service Center.
The report, based on data from the sixth assessment report of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, shows how sea levels in Norway are expected to rise towards the years 2100, 2150, and 2300.
The purpose of the report is to provide decision-makers with a knowledge base to adapt coastal municipalities and cities to rising sea levels.

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.
Infrastructure for Norwegian Earth System Modelling phase 2
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.
