Om
Roshin P. Raj is a physical oceanographer with nearly two decades of research experience in satellite remote sensing and climate research. He has obtained his PhD in Oceanography at the University of Bergen in 2014.
Raj is a senior scientist at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center, Norway, and also part of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research in Norway, where he co-leads the Polar Climate research theme. Raj is actively involved in major international activities on climate change, such as the: World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) – Safe Landing Climates lighthouse activities; and the European Space Agency’s Climate Change Initiatives (CCI). Raj is also actively contributing to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), primarily through three ongoing research projects C3-eKerala, ENRICH, and FOCCUS, all endorsed by UNESCO as Ocean Decade activities. During his research career, Raj has published 70+ peer-reviewed publications and has been part of 40+ research projects funded mainly by the European Union (EU), the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Norwegian Research Council. Raj has also been active in supervision and mentoring of master students, PhDs and Post docs (17 in total), many resulted in publications in high-ranking journals (8 in Nature journals). His main research interest is to integrate satellite remote sensing with in-situ observations, ecosystem modelling and AI/Machine learning to investigate the impact of climate change on ocean processes and its cascading effect on marine ecosystem and human health.

Sea level projection and reconstruction unit
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.
The Copernicus Marine Services Arctic Monitoring and Forecasting Center
The Arctic MFC produces oceanic data for the whole Arctic. The goal is to deliver the most accurate forecast and reanalysis products while ensuring the consistency of the information on sea ice, ocean conditions, biology and surface waves across the entire Arctic.
The rapidly changing physical seascape of the Arctic Ocean have implications for several industries including the energy, shipping, and fishing sectors.
