I have a wide experience in polar oceanography from Arctic and Antarctic waters. Onwards from January 2026 I will lead strategic work on ocean research at ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´, and act as the

I am leading a  and I have been a professor II at the University Centre in Svalbard () since 2014. Of relevant previous experience I would like to mention that I have been a member of the  (2020-2023), the US-Norway Arctic Fulbright Chair (2019-2020), part of the the (2015-2021, Climate and the Cryosphere, World Climate Research Programme) and a coordinator in  (2014-2021, European Climate Research Alliance). 

For 2024 - 2026 I am a Norwegian participant in the ''. I am also a "" in an EU project that coordinates European Polar research, member of the '' and active in producing a '' on how we can help restoring Arctic sea ice lead by . Recently I have also become a member of the .   

In March 2000 I accomplished my PhD on frazil ice formation and sediment entrainment in polar waters. I have worked with projects related to sea ice formation in the Arctic and melting of ice-shelves in Antarctica since then. I have extensive field experience, have participated in several international laboratory experiments, and worked with a number of different numerical models. Modelling activity includes circulation in the Arctic Ocean and the Nordic Seas, coupled column modelling of the Arctic Ocean, sub ice shelf circulation under the Fimbul Ice Shelf in Antarctica, polynya dynamics on Svalbard, and export and cover of Arctic sea ice in Global Earth System Models. New activity now also cover Disko Bay on Greenland.

Research Areas:

• Arctic Ocean Modelling
• Barents Sea; Atlantisk Inflow, surface fluxes and sea ice cover
• Sea Ice formation in fjords on Svalbard
• Water masses of the Southern Ocean and the Weddell Sea, circulation and deep water formation
• Melting of ice shelves, circulation in sub-ice cavities, Fimbul and Filchner-Ronne ice shelves
• Incorporation of sediments into sea ice
• Frazil ice crystals, grease ice, pancake ice - freezing processes under high turbulence

I hold that communicating our scientific understanding is the most important thing we do.

Polar Oceanography (): The course aims to describe circulation and dynamics of the polar oceans, including the Norwegian- and Greenland Sea. The topics are discussed with respect to climatic variations and compared for the Arctic and Antarctic regions. (spring 2013 until today)

Introduction to the atmosphere, ocean and climate (): The course gives an introduction to the fundamentals in meteorology, physical oceanography and climatology with emphasis on a qualitative explanation of the physical processes (Autumn, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023).

Sustainable Arctic Energy (UNIS) (): The course provides an interdisciplinary survey of tools for assessing the merit, challenges, and risks of different potential renewable energy exploration and development choices in the rapidly changing Arctic.

Previous courses:

Data analysis in Oceanography and Meteorology (, autumn 2007 and 2013)

 (GEOF105, autumn 2014, 2015, 2016)

Air-Ice-Sea Interaction (UNIS) (AGF-311/811, 2014, 2016, 2022): The course described processes involved in air-sea exchange of heat and momentum at high latitudes. This includes deep convection and mechanisms for breaking down vertical stratification in the ocean.

Lars H. Smedsrud - Frazil ice formation and incorporation of sediments into sea ice in the Kara Sea. Dr. Scient. Thesis (2000) Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen, Norway 

Frazil ice formation in turbulent salt water is investigated through laboratory experiments and numerical modeling. Increasing frazil ice volumes and change in the size distribution are observed. Frazil ice aggregate with sediments in suspension, and form a surface ice cover. The efficiency of the process is estimated empirically and results are applied to field data from the Kara Sea continental shelf by use of the developed model. Field samples of sediment laden sea ice from the Kara Sea are presented and compared to the estimates. A substantial mass of sediments may be incorporated by the aggregation process given high levels of turbulence, i.e. strong wind under natural conditions.
