Title:
Impacts of climate change on coastal ecosystems around Greenland
Research area and project description:
This PhD project located at the Department of Ecoscience seeks to study the effects of climate change on coastal marine ecosystems in Greenland.
The physical conditions defining the boundaries of ecosystems are undergoing rapid changes in the Arctic. Although there is a growing understanding of changes in ecosystems on a pan-arctic scale, some regions of the marine Arctic, including vast stretches of the Greenland coast, remain poorly studied.
The project aims at characterizing climate change and associated trends in coastal and marine ecosystems across different regions of Greenland in order to better understand the variability in the responses of Greenland marine ecosystems to climate drivers across time and space. The project will apply remote sensing techniques to assess changes in climate- and environmental conditions at small, meso- and large scale, and will use various existing long-term data sets and new data, including data generated in the project, to analyse trends and characterize structure and function of benthic and pelagic ecosystems
