Kobbefjord research station guidelines

The Kobbefjord Research Station is located at the very end of Kangerluarsunnguaq which is ca. 30 minutes away from Nuuk by boat.

The fjord is part of Nuup Kangerlua – the largest fjord system in West Greenland. The location in a valley system with more than 1000 meter mountains facilitates easy access to glaciers, freshwater systems including three lakes, as well asterrestrial, coastal and marine environments.

The station was built in 2010 to accommodate visiting researchers who study the low artic environment. The station has four buildings accommodating up to 8 people.

Among others, the station provides a platform for the integrated long-term monitoring and research program Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring (GEM). The program focuses on ecosystem and climate change effects and feedbacks in the Arctic.

The station is owned by the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, and all buildings were funded by the Aage V. Jensen Foundations.
