What is the programme Climate Variability?

Climate Variability is an NWO programme aimed at fundamental research in the field of climate problems. The programme is a continuation of a series of previous NWO programmes on this theme. In 2005 a final Call for proposals was issued jointly by the Divisions for Earth and Life Sciences and Physical Sciences. It also aims to support and promote multidisciplinary research at the interface of mathematics and/or informatics and climate science.

RAPID Climate Change 

The research councils of the UK, Norway and NWO-ALW have established a joint initiative for funding research related to the thermohaline circulation and rapid climate change in the North Atlantic region, which is linked to the UK-programme RAPID. The joint RAPID Climate Change Programme is part of the Climate Variability research theme of NWO.  more...
