Research projects
- Climate research focus areas (see table below)
The Greenland Climate Research Centre is concerned with climate change research and with expected impacts of climate change on Arctic marine, limnic, and terrestrial environments, and on Greenlandic society - including adaptation and prevention strategies. The climate research centre today include the following research projects:

1 | Ocean and fjord systems: | |
2 | Sea ice: | |
3 | Ice sheet and glaciers: | |
4 | Terrestic eco systems: | |
5 | Limnic eco systems: | |
6 | Society relations: | |
7 | Marin eco systems: | |
8 | Weather, climate and atmosphere: | |
9 | Surveillance: | |
10 | Data / models: | |
