Our Work

ECOTIP is composed of six work packages integrated into a common methodological framework starting from mapping of the stressors and their effects on individual organisms in work package (WP) 1, community and ecosystem level effects in WP2, application of a traits-based approach to assess and predict impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem function and services in WP3, and consequences for human-systems in WP4. WP5 will facilitate stakeholder involvement, and ensure optimal communication and dissemination of the project results as well as their exploitation for development of monitoring strategies and for policy. WP6 manages the ECOTIP project.

Cruises

Dana

20 scientists carried out a 2-week cruise in July 2021 to research changes in the marine environment off Greenland´s west coast and what these changes mean for the ocean´s ability to provide fish and sequester carbon from the atmosphere.

Merian

In August 2022, 20+ ECOTIP scientists carried out a 3-week research cruise of the east coast of Greenland
