  1. Marine Environmental and Climate Research atNansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center by Vice Director Prof. Johnny A. Johannessen

  2. established in 1986, affiliated with University in Bergen, and a partner in the Bjerknes Collaboration http://www.nersc.no Director: Peter M. Haugan, Employ a staff of ~ 60 from 13 nations, 35% female Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center

  3. The Nansen Center Vision is To serve the society through advancing knowledge on the state and behavior of the marine environment and climate system in the spirit of Fridtjof Nansen The Nansen Center competence & expertise mathematics, physics, oceanography, meteorology, statistics, information technology, numerical modeling, data assimilation,

  4. Key Research Areas • Climate processes, variability and change • Ocean modelling, data assimilation and prediction (http://topaz.nersc.no) • Ocean and sea ice remote sensing and acoustic oceanography (http://www.arctic-roos.org)

  5. Nansen Group: Inititated by Prof. Ola M. Johannessen Nansen International Environmental and Remote Sensing Centre, St. Petersburg, Russia 1992 • Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center, Bergen, 1986 • Nansen Tutu Centre for Marine Environmental Research, Cape Town, South Africa 2010 • total of ~180 including 75 PhD candidates Nansen-Zhu International Research Centre, Beijing, China 2003 Nansen Environmental Research India, Cochin, India 1999

  6. International Network and Cooperation • Europe • EU Framework projects; coordinated 44 out of 105 FP projects since 1994 • European Space Agency; > 57 projects • EuroGOOS initiating operational oceanography, including Arctic ROOS • ECOMF – European Centre For Operational Marine Forecasting • European Climate Forum • Brazil (INPE - Dr. Joao Lorenzzetti; Federal University of Rio Grande, Institute of Oceanography – Prof. Carlos A.E. Garcia) • Additional cooperation – US (acoustics), CND (sea ice)

  7. Visiting Fellowship and Exchange of Scientists • NERSC have long experience with visiting Fellowship and exchange of scientists through the Nansen Fellowship Program • Office space and access to resources are offered • The in-house knowledge and expertise offers good opportunities to identify and agree joint collaboration and supervision

  8. a potential collaboration with focus on Earth System and regional environment & climate ATMOSPHERIC BRIDGE The Green Link For Land –Atmosphere Coupling The Blue Link For Ocean-Atmosphere Coupling Multidisciplinary Land-Ocean-Atmosphere Project targeting the region of Amazon and the neighboring seas AMAZON RIVER Quantify the role of the Amazon Rain Forest for the regional water and CO2 cycles and their mutual feedbacks with global climate change on seasonal, inter-annual and decadal timescales.

  9. Thank you for your attention!
