I’m a research professor at NORCE and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. My main research interests are climate prediction and climate change impacts and solutions. I currently lead the EU Horizon Europe project ACACIA, and I’m the chief scientist of the Climate Futures research centre. From 2020 to 2024, I led the EU Horizon 2020 CONFER project on climate services in East Africa. Please get in touch by e-mail, on LinkedIn, or on ResearchGate. See also my blog on climate prediction (in Norwegian).
