For millions of years, the harsh climatic conditions in the Arctic have separate living organisms in the North Atlantic and the North Pacific. A new study conducted by, among others, researchers at Aarhus University, shows, however, that climate change begins to break down this natural barrier. This leads to a transfer of fish between the two oceans – something that may have major environmental and economic consequences. The study is recently published in Nature Climate Change.
French, Belgian, English, Greenlandic, Danish. Corridors, laboratories and meeting rooms are going to buzz with different languages at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources (GINR) when a new science education initiative is set in motion on February 13.

I joined up with the ICE-CAMPS (Ice Covered Ecosystem – CAMbridge Bay Process Studies) team in early May.

My work while in the field varies year to year, but in general I look at the atmosphere and how the sea ice and the ocean influence it.

The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for policy-makers and academics to deliberate on how the security, resilience and sustainability of the globalized Arctic region and its peoples may be enhanced, and what instruments of governance may most suitably contribute.
New robot technology leads Antarctic exploration into a new epoch. It is now possible to study the underside of sea ice across large distances and explore a world previously restricted to specially trained divers only.
Matchpoint seminar Aarhus University, Denmark, 12-13 November, 2015
The Greenland Institute of Natural Resources together with other science institutions from Iceland, Faroe Islands, Norway, Russia, Canada and the US have been granted funds to develop a proposal on a seabed wildlife and condition surveillance program. The goal is to set minimal standards for monitoring of the sea-bed in the northern Atlantic.
The annual Arctic Science Partnership (ASP) meeting was the start of a new network of students and young researchers from Canada, Denmark and Greenland. The network will be a forum creating opportunities for cross-border field work and scientific discussions.

The University of Manitoba, in collaboration with the Greenland Institute for Natural Resources and Aarhus University in Denmark, has established the Arctic Science Partnership.
