Reports from INTERACT field sites
GINR is located in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, with ca. 16.000 inhabitants. GINR actively communicates with users of the environment (fishermen, hunters, and recreational users) and with direct recipients of scientific advice (administrators and politicians). Users of the environment, and their comprehensive knowledge of the natural environment, are included during planning and implementation of the Institute’s activities.
Research and monitoring activities focus on living marine resources (fish, shellfish, marine mammals and birds), land-based resources (land mammals and vegetation), as well as physical and chemical processes in the environment in relation to climate change and its impact upon society.

Frederiksen, Greenlandic Minister for Housing, Infrastructure and Transport. They came by in mid August […]
Read More…In this blogging post I will shortly describe the Greenland Ecological Monitoring (GEM) programme and the connections to the work being done in Kobbefjord. And off course I’ll give an update on the INTERACT groups visiting since my last blogging. GEM is a programme studying the effects of climate change both in the marine and […]
Read More…I’m Katrine and I’m co-station manager at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources (GINR). I will be blogging about the station and our visitors during this summer. The main focus will be primarily on the work done in Kobbefjord, the INTERACT TA-groups joining us there the next months as well as other researchers coming to […]
