The Department of
Marinegeologi and Glaciology (MGG) works within three main research areas:
Marinegeolocial mapping in Denmark and Greenland, surveillance of the meltoff on
the Greenlandic icecap, plus climate and environmental history within the latest
5000 years.
- We supply government counseling to the Danish energy board and the ministry of nature and environment. On marine geology, habitat mapping and seafloor mapping etc.
- We monitor the icecap on Greenland in the PROMICE project, and work on a long list of research projects and glaciological counseling jobs.
- We do research on the dynamics in seacurrents in an ever changing climate. Work on vegetation history and development of natural forrests.
