Land-ocean interactions

BLUE CONNECT is a Horizon Europe (EU) funded project that aims to enhance marine ecosystem resilience and promote sustainable stewardship of Europe's coastal and offshore habitats through collaboration and involvement with government agencies, local MPA managers and stakeholder groups.

In the FOODCOAST project we investigate the cultural heritage dimensions of food and the relationships between the food producers, their resources and the ecosystems that they depend on.

How are northern ecosystems affected by climate change, and how do different ecosystems affect each other? This 5-year Fram Centre research program aims to provide critical new knowledge related to: (1) Cross-ecosystem climate change impacts; and (2) How to best integrate cross-ecosystem linkages into cohesive management approaches.

The section employs observational, experimental, and modeling approaches to further our understanding of physical, chemical, biological, and biogeochemical processes and services of the marine environment.
