Om

I’m a research professor at NORCE and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. My main research interests are climate prediction and climate change impacts and solutions. I currently lead the EU Horizon Europe project ACACIA and the CATER schools programme, and I’m the chief scientist of the Climate Futures research centre. From 2020 to 2024, I led the EU Horizon 2020 CONFER project on climate services in East Africa.

Main research interests
• Climate dynamics
• Numerical weather modelling and dynamical downscaling
• Predictability and natural variability from intra-seasonal to multi-decadal time scales
• Mesoscale weather phenomena (such as polar lows)
• Troposphere – stratosphere interactions
• Climate change impacts on health

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.
