Organisation
GEM operates as an interdisciplinary center without walls and is established as a collaboration between institutions in Denmark and Greenland. The GEM organisation consists of a Steering Group, a Secretariat, a Coordination Group and sub-programme leaders.
The GEM Steering Group consists of representatives from the main science institutions involved in the programme, with observers from relevant authorities from Denmark and Greenland. The Steering Group is responsible for the overarching strategy and oversees the work carried out by the GEM Secretariat and Coordination Group.
The GEM Secretariat consists of a Scientific Leader, an Academic Secretary and a Database Manager. The Scientific Leader is responsible for the development of the GEM strategy and ensuring high quality and standard of scientific work and outputs.
The GEM Coordination Group consists of the Scientific Leader, Academic Secretary, Database Manager, sub-programme leaders and one logistician from each of the GEM long-term multidisciplinary monitoring sites (Zackenberg, Disko and Nuuk).
Sub-programme leaders from the main institutions involved in GEM lead the six GEM sub-programmes: ClimateBasis, GeoBasis, BioBasis, MarineBasis,GlacioBasis and the cross-cutting Remote Sensing and Modeling programme.
