WP2: Case studies in Greenland

Objectives: (1) Establish dialogue and collaboration with actors in Greenland related to development of guidelines and standards, (2) Develop a Bayesian Belief Network model as tool in natural resource management in Greenland, and (3) Organize a research school/workshop on development of standards guidelines related to CBM programs and resources management.

Work has focus on resource management in Greenland, which is one of the major challenges in development of sustainable communities. Management for sustainable resource exploitation builds on ecosystem knowledge obtained through environmental monitoring, and on advanced methods for estimating the climate-driven changes in stocks. We address how community-based monitoring can be strengthened through use of new technologies and improved standards.

  • Task 2.1 Dialogue with Greenland actors
  • Task 2.2 Development of a software platform for inclusion of various forms of knowledge in natural resource management in Greenland through Bayesian Belief Network models 
  • Task 2.3 Research school and workshop on technologies for sustainable development in Greenland
