Description
16.10.2018
Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring (GEM) is an integrated monitoring and long-term research programme on ecosystems and climate change effects and feedbacks in the Arctic. Since 1994 the programme has established a coherent and integrated understanding of the functioning of ecosystems in a highly variable climate, which is based upon a comprehensive, long-term inter-disciplinary data collection carried out by Danish and Greenlandic monitoring and research institutions.
The data collection mainly takes place at the following field stations:
- Disko in the low/high arctic West Greenland
- Nuuk in low arctic West Greenland
- Zackenberg in high arctic Northeast Greenland.
