We are strengthening our capacity in political analysis.

NORSAR has recorded seismic signals near the Balticconnector gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea. The signals indicate a possible explosion at around 01:20, local time in Finland, 8 October 2023.

At NORSAR, we are continuously testing and developing technologies to utilize our expertise in vibration measurement and fiber optics for purposes of social benefit. Over the previous few years, we have investigated the possibility of using fiber optic sensing technology to detect water leaks in the pipeline network. The results are promising.

The next three years, the researcher project AIR, will assess the feasibility of exploring Venus’ interior using Balloon-borne seismology.

NORSAR has analysed seismic signals from regional stations in connection with the collapse of the dam in Ukraine on Tuesday 6. June 2023.

This week, NORSAR played host to representatives from AFTAC, a highly valued cooperation partner dating back to the early 1970s.

New opportunities for research on the use of fibreoptic sensing technology! NORSAR has established a new large-scale research facility at Stendammen, Løten, called the NORFOX array.

2022 was a good year for us at NORSAR. In this year's snapshot, you can read about our important work within the test ban treaty, fiber technology, safe and transparent storage of CO2 and our work on a safer society against natural hazards.

On 11 February, we celebrate the International Day for Women and Girls in Science. The aim is to increase the representation of women within scientific disciplines. Get to know some of our female colleagues!
