The NVE Copernicus services: Monitoring the Cryosphere and Natural Hazards in Norway
The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) operates the Norwegian Snow Avalanche, Lake Ice, Landslide, and Flood Warning Services and has been using Copernicus satellite data since 2014 to improve these services, enhance safety management, and support research.

The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) operates the Norwegian Snow Avalanche, Lake Ice, Landslide, and Flood Warning Services and has been using Copernicus satellite data since 2014 to improve these services, enhance safety management, and support research. The NVE Copernicus Services project, launched in 2022, aims to provide operational monitoring of snow avalanches, snow cover, lake ice, glaciers, floods, and other potential hazards using Sentinel data. In addition, the services make a baseline for future studies quantifying the climatic effects on snow avalanches, snow, and glaciers.New neural network-based detection algorithms have been implemented to improve monitoring of snow avalanches and snow cover. In addition, the project seeks to enhance monitoring of glacier lake outburst floods, snow and firn lines on glaciers, lake ice phenology, and flooded areas among others.
