About
I am a Chief Engineer specializing in climate data management and Earth system modeling, supporting research and operational climate prediction within the Climate Dynamics Group at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen. I support the group's research activities through technical, scientific, and administrative tasks.
Responsibilities
- Geoscientific data management: Monitoring and optimizing data storage and HPC resources, performing data curation tasks.
- Operational climate prediction: Maintaining the operational prediction system, publishing forecasts on the website, contributing to forecast verification.
- Earth system modelling: Setting up and running numerical experiments on supercomputers, performing data-handling, sharing output with collaborative partners, contributing to scientific analysis and peer-reviewed publications.
- Administrative support: Organizing seminars and maintaining project websites.
Research interests
- Climate change and variability with focus on North Atlantic and Polar regions, and their impact on marine ecosystems.
- Improving seasonal to decadal prediction skill with Earth system models.
Highlight
Real-time seasonal forecasts with NorCPM1: https://bcpu.w.uib.no/seasonal-forecast/
The seasonal forecasts are available online on our BCPU website and regularly updated every month. The Norwegian Climate Prediction Model (NorCPM) produces a new seasonal forecast once every month. The simulations are started at the beginning of the first forecast month and integrated over six months.
Skills & Tools
FORTRAN, MATLAB, Python, Shell scripting, HPC systems, NetCDF, GitHub, Microsoft Office, Earth system models (e.g., NorESM/NorCPM)

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.
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.
