The GreenEdge consortium includes cutting-edge expertise in all aspects of the project (processes, modelling and remote sensing). In addition, because the Arctic marine environment is peculiar, several Arctic specialists are involved. A total of more than 80 scientists, technicians and postdocs from several different laboratories will contribute to GreenEdge. Several Ph.D. students will join the project once it is launched. The following is a list of the different laboratories involved and their areas of expertise.
