Understanding climate and biodiversity changes in the Arctic remains high on international research agendas. The fjords and seas around Greenland and their importance and impact on society are included in multiple research projects. Being a key partner in EU and North American projects, the Greenlandic Institute of Natural Resources (GINR) invites stakeholders and interested parties to engage with three on-going projects.
Research activities to be presented and discussed include:
- Learning from local and indigenous knowledge – understanding fishery impacts and policy needs.
- The future perspective and societal impact of changes fjords in Greenland and North-Atlantic.
- Documenting environmental change at Davis Strait, a gateway between the Arctic and subpolar North Atlantic, and understanding impacts on southern Baffin Bay marine ecosystems.
GINR hosts a seminar lunch at 12.30 – 13.00 for signed-up participants. The seminar is open to all, but seats are limited. To register in advance for seminar and lunch, please write Thomas Juul-Pedersen before October 1st: lg.ru1728651104tan@e1728651104pht1728651104
