Climate changes made visible in the Arctic
The Arctic regions act as a magnifying glass allowing us a look into the future in terms of climate changes. Already now, millions of cubic metres of glacial ice have melted away, and animal and plant life has disappeared. The climate changes are expected to be particularly noticeable in the Arctic areas, and the Arctic populations will be facing great demands for adaptation.
The Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation - in collaboration with the Commission for Scientific Research in Greenland (KVUG), the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources and the University of Greenland - has therefore established a research centre in order to promote research into what will happen when the climate changes set in, and how we may learn to live with them. Since May 2009, the Research Centre has been housed at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, a government research institute located in Greenland's capital, Nuuk. Here, researchers will have direct access to the sensitive and vulnerable Arctic nature.
The Climate Research Centre will be the leading international centre for studying climate changes and their impact on Arctic ecosystems, communities and infrastructures. The working programme of the Research Centre will initially focus on studying the ice cap, the marine environment and ecosystem, and the sea ice. The Centre will also engage in social science research.
