Ecosystem science in a changing Arctic
Climate Change affects the Arctic more than anywhere else. An increase in temperature leads to fundamental changes to the Arctic ecosystem - from permafrost thaw, to changes in marine life and vegetation in the region. All this has a dramatic effect on the lives of people living in the area, as well as how we manage and use the resources available there.
At Denmark’s Aarhus University, the Department of Bioscience explores how climate change affects the processes on land, in the water and ice and in the air. As such they provide world leading expertise on diverse areas across climate ecosystem interactions, ecosystem health, as well as the environmental impacts of Arctic mineral and oil exploitation.
Their research makes them an excellent partner for any institution working in the region, and their work involves a wide range of research and advisory work at the forefront of all major international efforts to better manage the Arctic. With projects focused across Greenland and the North Atlantic, Aarhus University represents one-stop shop for partners in excellence within the region.
