Malte Müller

Malte Müller is an Associate Professor at the Section for Meteorology and Oceanography (MetOs) at the University of Oslo, specializing in Arctic climate dynamics, numerical weather prediction, and ocean-ice-atmosphere interactions. His research spans from high-resolution forecasting systems to climate change impacts on polar regions.

• Key Projects: Copernicus Arctic Marine Forecasting Center, FOCUS, IcySea, Nansen Legacy, SALIENSEAS, PRISMAS
• Teaching: GEO4902 – Weather Systems

Research Themes include:

• Sea Ice Modeling: Developing kilometer-scale forecasting systems, analyzing marginal ice zone dynamics, and applying machine learning to sea ice drift predictions.
• Climate Extremes: Studying circulation pattern changes affecting Norwegian precipitation, atmospheric river-induced floods, and tidal evolution under climate change.
• Observational Networks: Designing open-source oceanographic instruments like OpenMetBuoy for Arctic wave and drift measurements.

Publication Trends reveal focus areas in Arctic Meteorology, Sea Ice Dynamics, Tidal Energy Conversion, and Climate Risk Assessment through collaborations with institutions like NASA, Copernicus, and international universities.

Collaborations span institutions including:

• NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies
• Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center
• Copernicus Marine Service
• UiO Meteorology and Oceanography Department
