ROCS is a virtual centre that is more than a collection of research projects. It is a platform to foster a larger network of researchers approaching similar questions from diverse vantage points, and shares a common understanding of the ROCS‘ research mission.

Research at ROCS is grounded in transdisciplinarity with input from a diverse group of people and institutions. These institutions include the University of Copenhagen, University of Iceland, Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), Marine and Freshwater Research Institute in Iceland, Aarhus University, National Institute of Aquatic Resources at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Aqua) and Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA).

The ROCS website is a platform incorporating information about the centre‘s research, field work, and scientific products. It also contains a record of the virtual Lecture Series hosted by ROCS, where leading scholars discuss topics relevant to ROCS’ core aims of research. 

The centre‘s roots lie at the University of Iceland and the University of Copenhagen, that host those employed directly by ROCS. This refers mainly to the postdoctoral fellows who will divide their period of employments at the centre between the two institutions. The ROCS grants support postdoctoral positions providig the scaffolding upon which the centre rests.

The list of contributors below includes not only researchers directly supported by centre funds, but also those whose inputs have already been important for the activities at ROCS. We expect this list to grow alongside the ROCS research program.
