POMP researchers from Aarhus University took part in the 23rd Danish Marine Science Meeting, held last week, contributing to sessions focused on ocean dynamics, coastal modelling, and emerging tools for marine prediction and management.
The meeting brought together the Danish marine science community to exchange new results, discuss methodological advances, and explore how research can support decision-making in a rapidly changing ocean. POMP was well represented through both scientific presentations and session leadership.
Vibe Schourup-Kristensen presented work on Modelling shrimp larval drift in Disko Bay, linking ocean circulation dynamics with recruitment processes in a changing Arctic environment. Her talk highlighted how physical–biological coupling is essential for understanding population connectivity and ecosystem responses under climate change.
Marie Maar contributed to discussions on the UN Decade of Ocean Science, presenting work on prediction and management scenarios using Digital Twins of the Ocean for Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Denmark. This work aligns closely with POMP’s ambition to connect observations, models, and decision-support frameworks across polar and sub-Arctic regions.
In addition, Janus Larsen hosted a dedicated session on Ocean prediction and coastal modelling, providing a platform for discussions on modelling approaches, forecast systems, and their application in coastal and polar settings.
Other POMP-affiliated participants included Dorte Krause-Jensen, Carmen Dueñas, Eva Friis Møller, and colleagues from Aarhus University, underlining the project’s strong engagement with the national marine science community.
