About ECOTIP
ECOTIP – Ecological tipping cascades in the Arctic Seas
is a flagship Horizon 2020 research project focusing on
understanding and predicting changes in Arctic marine
biodiversity and implications for two vitally important marine
ecosystem services: fisheries production, which is the economic
lifeblood of many Arctic communities, and carbon sequestration,
which has important feedbacks to the global climate.
Led by the Technical University of Denmark, ECOTIP brings
together leading scientists from 15 institutes across Europe and
Japan. The project combines state-of-the-art field and
laboratory studies, analysis of historical and
paleo-oceanographic data and trait-based modeling to predict the
potential tipping points of key biological ecosystem functions
in Arctic seas in the face of climate change and other
pressures. ECOTIP works closely with fishing communities in
Greenland and other stakeholders to understand the effects of
biodiversity and ecosystem changes on society, and how best to
reduce, mitigate and adapt to the changes.
