Center for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate (CMEC) is a Center of Excellence established in 2010 at the University of Copenhagen. The aim of CMEC's research is to elucidate biology’s “laws of nature” by focusing on the main processes influencing life on Earth. Our research helps society address two of the most pressing challenges of our time: How to combat the ongoing global mass extinction of species, and how to predict the effects of global climate change on biological diversity. We bring together terrestrial and marine high-profile scientists, postdoctoral scientists, PhD-students as well as technical and administrative staff. Our scientists work within the fields of macroecology, historical biogeography, oceanography, evolutionary biology, ecology, population biology, climate change research, conservation biology and environmental economics.
