How predictable is climate? Answering this question is my long-term research goal and that of my research group—Climate Dynamics and Predictability Laboratory

About me

I am a climate researcher with a broad range of interests that extend from climate dynamics to understand the impacts of climate on marine ecosystems, and to the development of climate services. I received a PhD in meteorology from Monash University in 2002. I am a professor in Tropical Meteorology at the University of Bergen since 2011. Prior to this I worked in German at the Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology (2001-2003) and at GEOMAR (2003-2011). I have received prestigious the German Research Foundation (DFG) Emmy Noether Award, the European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant, and a Mega-grant of the Government of the Russian Federation. I am currently co-chair of the WCRP CLIVAR Climate Dynamics Panel. I have led major national and international projects, including from the European Union, NordForsk, Resarch Council of Norway, and the Trond Mohn Foundation.

My research focuses on the role of the ocean in climate system, with studies on ocean-atmosphere interaction in all of the ocean basins and from diurnal to centennial timescales. To gain a deeper understanding of climate dynamics I combine numerical models (conceptual to full complexity Earth System Models) and observations, using advanced statistical analysis and novel experimental designs. Among my key achievements is to be the first to show that North Atlantic climate could be predicted on decadal timescales (Keenlyside et al., Nature, 2008), a result that helped initiate the field of near-term climate prediction. I have led the development of the Norwegian Prediction model and of novel approaches to reduce model systematic error (i.e., supermodelling). I have a great interest in interdisciplinary research, and have collaborated with ecologists, social anthropologists, climate historians, political scientists and economists. I have also played a leading role in the development of applied research in the field of climate services (e.g., SFI Climate Futures).
