Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring (GEM) is a leading
integrated monitoring and long-term research programme on
ecosystems and climate change effects and feedbacks in the
Arctic. 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 currently carried
out at two sites. These are located at Nuuk in low arctic West
Greenland and at Zackenberg in high arctic Northeast
Greenland.
The vision of the programme with focus on Greenland
is to contribute substantially to the basic scientific
understanding of arctic ecosystems and their responses to
climatic changes and variability as well as the potential
local, regional and global implications of changes in Arctic
ecosystems.
