The following projects have were granted this round:
#1 Predicting flooding and changing shorelines for the next 100 years of sea-level rise and changing land-useWilliam Helland-Hansen, Prof., UiB, Department of Earth Sciences In this project we aim at creating a forward projection of the global land-water interface for the next 100 years, based on extrapolation of global datasets for subsidence, global sea-level change, sediment supply, sediment distribution, climate, and anthropogenic influence acquired over the last four decades. This is important because existing models for future coastline change at a global scale only includes global sea-level rise. The result will be a global model of land-water distribution projected from the present to year 2100 |
#2 Climate Risk and Sustainable PerformanceEsmeralda Colombo, PhD Candidate, UiB, Faculty of Law Build on existing research (Fløttum/Tvinnereim on public perceptions and Esty/Cort (Yale) on metrics that enterprises may apply in due diligence) to establish a network and develop as a young researcher. |
The following projects were granted in November 2018:
#1 Workshop on co-production of climate adaptation and mitigationErik Kolstad, Prof., NORCE & BCCR Workshop to plan summer school. Travels and accomodation for 4 international scientists, pluss servings at CET 3 hr seminar. |
#2 Transformative Climate GovernanceSiri Gloppen, Prof., UiB, Department of Comparative Politics/LawTransform Prepare interdisciplinary research proposal to RCN, incl. Travels and salary for coordinator and prepare submission of 2 articles for Catalina Valleho. |
