The Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring (GEM) program has over the past two decades established itself firmly as an internationally leading environmental barometer measuring climate change impacts and ecosystem changes in the Arctic. The program was established in 1995 at Zackenberg Research Station in a High-Arctic ecosystem. Over the past decade, GEM expanded to include a Low-Arctic site, Nuuk/Kob...

We seek to gain a quantitative understanding of the physical, chemical, biological, and optical dynamics that structure the planktonic ecosystem on the scales of the organisms. By quantifying the variability of the organisms and their environment at the scales that the organisms live their lives, we will gain insight into the dynamics that create structure and influence the function of the plan...

Aquatic ecosystems are facing a growing number of human induced changes and threats. Macroinvertebrate biomonitoring is particularly efficient in pinpointing the cause-effect structure between slow and subtle changes and their detrimental consequences in aquatic ecosystems. The greatest obstacle to implementing efficient biomonitoring is currently the cost-intensity of human expert taxonomic id...
