The Harsval project includes also strengthening the mobility of scientists between Polish and Norwegian entities. The outcome will be the integration of the Polish and Norwegian scientific communities, increased cohesion through increased competence and skills, and the creation of new international scientific initiatives based on Polish-Norwegian consortia to solve complex research challenges.
More information about the mobility programme you can found in WP2.

We received a report about the internship to Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NERSC) from Dr. Agnieszka Beszczyńska-Möller (Institute of Oceanology of Polish Academy of Sciences).

We invite you to enjoy: 

“During a internship to the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center in Bergen, Dr. Agnieszka Beszczynska-Möller (IOPAN) led, in collaboration with Dr. Hanne Sagen (NERSC), the compilation and analysis of oceanographic data collected by autonomously recording gauges on anchored risers (moorings) in the region north of Svalbard. Due to the influx of warm and salty waters of Atlantic origin and their modification by contact with the atmosphere and sea ice, this region is crucial for tracking climate change in the Arctic Ocean. Exhibited in 2021, the IOPAN measurement mooring was mined as part of the HiAOOS 2024 cruise conducted by NERSC on the Norwegian icebreaker KV Svalbard with IOPAN participation. Measurements of seawater temperature and salinity, ocean currents, and sea ice concentration and drift collected by the autonomous mooring sensors during 2021-2024 will allow describing environmental changes in the European sector of the Arctic Ocean in conjunction with Arctic warming and shrinking sea ice cover due to ongoing climate change.”
