Research Projects

BONUS BalticAPP: well-being from the Baltic Sea – applications combining natural science and economics is a project funded by the Bonus program that aims to project the future evolution of the Baltic Sea ecosystem under consistent scenarios detailing various climate and nutrient load changes.

The project will develop a new generation of advanced and evaluated high-resolution global climate models, which are able to simulate and predict regional climate with unsurpassed accuracy - indispensable for governments, business and society in general.

HazardSupport is a project 2015-2020 where SMHI and SEI (Stockholm Environment Institute) collaborate with the aim of developing a risk-based decision support for adaptation to future natural hazards. The project is funded by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, MSB.

The purpose of the Smart Sea project is to support the growth of commercial marine activities in the Gulf of Bothnia region. The key idea is that sustainable growth can only be attained by planning the use of sea areas wisely. At the same time, synergies between activities can be increased.

The aim of the Polar Ice project is to develop a next generation sea ice information service by integrating and building on a wide range of European and national funded activities which incorporate many of the required components.

The NFIX project will estimate Nitrogen FIXation in past and future climates of the Baltic Sea.

The objective of COCOA is to identify major pathways of nutrients and organic material in various coastal ecosystems around the Baltic Sea.

BIO-C3 will investigate causes of changes in biodiversity, emphasizing effects on ecosystem functioning and implications for environmental management.

The HELCOM Seatrack Web system is a system for tracking oil spills and other hazardous substances and is used by authorities around the Baltic Sea.

MyOcean 2 is an EU-funded project involving 61 teams in 29 countries in Europe. The main aim of the project is to deliver and operate a sustainable ocean monitoring and forecasting system to users for all marine applications.
