iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Where do our CO2 emissions come from, and where do they end up? I made this little summary - and you can see why reducing the use of fossil fuels remains the most important tool we have for slowing climate change:

Winter has arrived properly in Norway this week ❄️ After a few days of heavy snow it already feels like mid-season, so it’s time to look a bit further ahead. I’ve built a small interactive tool to explore ECMWF seasonal snow forecasts for the Nordics: climatecompass.shinyapps.io/Snow_Depth_F...

Those late summer rains do make for a dramatic sky

For this years Research days I'll be talking about climate change in Reisa national park in northern Norway. It's a protected area that is expected to see dramatic warming in the coming century:

Rome on the other hand: Starting from a very good baseline of exceptional summers, but a clear negative trend with hotter and more intense heatwaves detracting from the overall experience.

Now look at Berlin. 📈 GSI is trending up — summers are getting better. Why? More sunny spells More swimming weather – But too much heat is now a downside. Hotter ≠ better, once you’re sweating through 35°C.

But how is the quality of summers varying over time? In Bergen the GSI since 1980 is chaotic — some gems, some write-offs, and no clear trends. But the most important factors are crystal clear: ☀️ How warm is it? ☀️ How sunny is it?

Let’s zoom in on southern Norway 🇳🇴 Bergen is doing okay (for Bergen). Oslofjord? Better. But check out Kristiansand to Arendal — it really pops on the GSI. There’s a reason so many people from Oslo head there for summer holidays.

Here’s how Europe looks so far for summer 2025 (June + July): Coastal Mediterranean regions score high ✅ Further north = tougher summers ❄️ But zoom in, and the variability is interesting. ⬇️

We've had a gloriously warm and sunny summer in Bergen this year. You really need this break in a city where you know the heavy rain is just around the corner.

🌡️ Not all hot nights are equal. We track “tropical nights” when temps never dip below 20 °C—but what if it’s already 20 °C at bedtime? I crunched ERA5 data for 5 European capitals. Let’s talk tropical 10 pm. 👇

Bar chart for Lisbon, Oslo, Paris, Rome, Vienna showing blue bars (tropical nights) vs orange bars (tropical 10 pms) in 2025 so far. Orange bars tower over blue in every city except Rome, highlighting bedtime heat.

Looking like a quite high risk of a marine heatwave in the northern aquaculture production zones this summer: seasonalforecastsfornorway.shinyapps.io/MarineHeatwa... #seasonalforecast #aquaculture #salmon #Norway

Congratulations to Edson Freire da Silva on his PhD “Prediction of Harmful Algae Blooms Impacting Shellfish Farms in Norway”! Powerful predictive tools to supplement and enhance HAB monitoring activities.

Excellent summary of what we have learnt from environmental DNA in sediments, and the ‘ocean challenge’ from Stijn De Schepper @ Bjerknes Center annual meeting
