Work packages

Through the 3 work packages NAVIGATE is utilizing the advanced Norwegian Earth system model (NorESM) to conduct comprehensive research and experiments on climate interventions and CO2 emissions, organized into specialized work packages for efficient collaboration and knowledge transfer among leading scientists.

Work Package 1: Scenario developments and simulations

Lead: Dirk Olivié (Met.no)

Objective: 

Design, implement, simulate, quality control, and archive (i) baseline, (ii) emission reduction, and (iii) climate intervention (SRM and CDR) model experiments in NAVIGATE.

Task description:

Task 1.1 Design and execute baseline scenarios. 
Task 1.2 Design and execute scenarios with intervention.
Task 1.3 Design and perform idealised stabilization scenarios.

 

Work Package 2: Global climate responses and feedbacks

Lead: Rosie Fisher (CICERO)

Objective: 

Determine large scale biogeochemical and climate responses to mitigation and interactions with climate interventions.

Task description:

Task 2.1 Large-scale patterns of physical climate change.
Task 2.2 Terrestrial carbon and ecosystem responses in coupled climate.
Task 2.3 Physical and biogeochemical changes in the ocean.
Task 2.4 Synthesis of climate implications and carbon cycle processes.

 

Work Package 3: Polar climate change and impacts in stabilization pathways

Lead: Jörg Schwinger (NORCE)

Objective: 

Investigate the consequences and unintended side effects of SRM and CDR interventions on the
physical and biogeochemical climate state and interactions in the polar regions

Task description:

T3.1. Polar physical climate interactions.
T3.2 Legacy of anthropogenic climate change on the polar terrestrial system.
T3.3 Long-term impacts of climate change on polar marine carbon cycle and ecosystems.
T3.4. Synthesis of consequences and side effects of climate intervention in the polar region.
