Description
Summary:Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring program Report Cards 2022. Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring (GEM) is an internationally recognized climate and ecosystem monitoring programme in Greenland, operated by research institutions in Denmark and Greenland. It was established in 1995 and has since then been monitoring essential climate and ecosystem variables. Throughout the years GEM has contributed to the working groups of the Arctic Council (AMAP and CAFF) and the long-term data has improved the scientific understanding of climate and ecosystem change in the Arctic. The programme has developed from a comprehensive climate change and ecosystem monitoring programme at a single site in the National Park of North-East Greenland, to also include two almost equally comprehensive programmes in West Greenland, supplemented with initiatives at other locations.
