| Funding: The Research Council of Norway (NFR) | |
| CELOVE | Cenozoic development of the continental margin off Lofoten-Vesterålen and Troms. |
| DEMOCEN | Depositional Models for Cenozoic Sandy Systems. Development of depositional models for Cenozoic sandy systems in order to better identify and quantify factors critical to reservoir rock occurrence and distribution. |
| FORARC | Assessment of benthic foraminifera as environmental proxy in the Arctic region. |
| GANS | Gas hydrates on the Norway- Barents Sea - Svalbard margin. Quantifying gas accumulations in the form of hydrates in sediments on the Norway - Barents Sea - Svalbard (NBS) margin and assessing their response on sediments and biota. |
| Glacibar | Glaciations in the Barents Sea area. The Late-Cenozoic geological evolution of the northern and western Barents Sea margins |
| G3 | Geosystem 3D Seismic Imaging. Investigating complex and dynamic geosystems of gas hydrates, geofluids and geohazards in marine environments, using a mobile high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) seismic imaging system. |
| LOSLOPE | Sea floor stability offshore Lofoten, Northern Norway. Evaluating the present-day seafloor stability of the continental slope offshore Lofoten, Northern Norway, for a safe and environmentally sustainable hydrocarbon exploration. |
| SciencePub | Arctic Natural Climate and Environmental Changes and Human Adaptation: From Science to Public awareness. |
| WARMPAST | Arctic Ocean Warming in the Past. Improving our knowledge of climate warming in the Arctic, by studying past climate change. |
| Influx of Atlantic Water from the Nordic Seas to the Arctic Ocean during the late glacial and the Holocene. | |
| Late Weichselian ice-sheet dynamics and deglaciation history of the northern and eastern Svalbard margin. | |
| Microhabitats of benthic Foraminifera in glacimarine sediments. | |
| Strength and rheological evolution of the lower crust. | |

| Funding: EU (European Commission) | |
| CASE | The Changing Arctic and Sub-arctic Environment: a research and training programme on marine biotic indicators of recent climate changes in the high latitudes of the North Atlantic. |
| Deep Sea & Sub-Seafloor Frontier. Subseafloor drilling and sampling provide two key aspects for understanding how deep-sea ecosystems presently function and how they may respond to fluid flow. |
|
| ECO2 | The ECO2 project sets out to assess the risks associated with storage of CO2 below the seabed. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is regarded as a key technology for the reduction of CO2 emissions from power plants and other industrial sources at the European and international level. |
| EMSO/ESONET | European Multidisciplinary Seafloor Observatory/ European Seafloor Observatory Network of Excellence (NoE). Long-term observatories are crucial for European scientists to maintain a high level environmental research. |
| HERMIONE | Hotspot ecosystem research and man's impact on European seas. Advancing our knowledge of the functioning of natural fluid flow and deep-sea ecosystems. |
| INTIMATE | Integrating ice core, marine and terrestrial records. Developing common protocols and methods to reconstruct abrupt and extreme climate change across the full range of European environments to better understand the mechanisms and impact of change, and thereby reduce the uncertainty of future prediction. |
| PERGAMON | Permafrost and gas hydrate related methane release in the Arctic and impact on climate change: European cooperation for long-term monitoring. Quantifying the methane input from marine and terrestrial sources into the atmosphere in the Arctic region. |
| Funding: Statoil | |
| Paleo-Circus | CO2 and the ocean circulation system: Paleoproductivity, carbonate preservation and ocean ventilation in the Nordic seas in relation to natural variations in CO2 during the last 150,000 years. |
| Onshore-offshore tectonic evolution of the North-Norwegian (Lofoten-Vesterålen and Barents Sea) passive continental margin; Mesozoic and Cenozoic structural evolution (fault timing and correlation) and sedimentation, basin analysis and geomorphological implications. | |
