Greenland Ecological Monitoring (GEM) is a programme studying the effects of climate change both in the marine and the terrestrial environment. The long term goal with GEM is to improve our understanding of how climate change affect the different environments in the Arctic. The results will increase our ability to predict how the changes will affect the natural resources - both in the short and long term.

GEM has two research localities: Zackenberg Research Station in Northeast Greenland and Kobbefjord next to Nuuk in West Greenland. The scientific concept at the locality in Nuuk is based on experiences from the Zackenberg Basic programme, which was established in 1995.
