Bottom melting of Arctic Sea Ice in the Nansen Basin due to Atlantic Water influence
(Master thesis, 2016-05-24)The hydrographic situation for a region north of Svalbard is investigated using observations from the Norwegian Young Sea Ice Cruise (N-ICE2015). Observations from January to June 2015 are compared to historical observations ... -
Climate change and safe design of ship structures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02)The paper addresses projected changes of wave climate in the North Atlantic and their impact on the safe design of ships, with a particular focus given on associated uncertainties. The Fifth Assessment Report of the ... -
Climate change in the North – past, present and future
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)The Nordic countries have produced famous polar explorers and researchers who have generated climate research schools at a variety of locations. The dependence of these countries with respect to the lifelihood of their ... -
Has a warm North Atlantic contributed to recent European cold winters?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06-02)The rise of global surface temperature waned during the last decade, despite increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. The temperature changes were most pronounced over northern hemisphere land masses during winter (Cohen ... -
The Role of Atlantic Heat Transport in Future Arctic Winter Sea Ice Loss
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-14)During recent decades Arctic sea ice variability and retreat during winter have largely been a result of variable ocean heat transport (OHT). Here we use the Community Earth System Model (CESM) large ensemble simulation ...
