Bedrock and lake sediment tell the story of melting ice

21.01.2014
Associate professor Nicolaj Krog Larsen from Department of Geoscience and the Arctic Research Center has just been granted DKK 7.0 million from VILLUM FONDEN. The grant will be used for a large-scale research project investigating how the inland ice has reacted to natural climate variations in North-East Greenland during the past 10,000 years.

Brent goose under threat by climate change

14.01.2014
Plant-eating coastal birds are under threat. Tidal marshes are no longer managed through natural grazing, and rising temperatures lead to increasing water levels. The life-giving tidal marshes are shrinking drastically in area from year to year. Consequently, less food and energy are available to migratory birds before flight northward to their arctic breeding grounds.

Annual transect study in Godthåbsfjord, SW Greenland

13.01.2014
The marine monitoring programme, MarineBasis-Nuuk, conducts an annual transect study in early-May. The study covers a length section of the Godthåbsfjord system from Fyllas Banke outside the fjord to the innermost accessible station towards the glacial outlet.

Predicting impacts of climate change in Greenland: Substituting space for time

The Greenland coast spans more than 23° of latitude from sub-arctic areas with no sea ice cover to the high artic with year round ice cover. 

From Space to Ground-based Observations: Remote Sensing of Sea Ice

27.11.2013

Climate change is having drastic effects on the Earth’s polar regions. In recent years, the temperatures in the Canadian Arctic have been steadily increasing leading to a reduction in areal extent and thickness of sea ice.

On thin ice

28.10.2013
The Arctic Science Partnership is in the high Arctic studying polynyas. A polynya is an ice-free site in an otherwise ice-covered area. This particular polynya studied is located outside the Young Sund fiord in North-East Greenland and is maintained by high winds blowing the newly formed sea ice away from the area. Not a place you would normally want to be. But for this small team of scientists studying ice and ocean processes this is heaven.

Stowaways threaten fisheries in the Arctic

23.10.2013
The increased sea temperature expected in 2100 will in itself mean that the potential number of species introduced with ships will increase more than sixfold in Svalbard. These are the findings of a new study with participation from Aarhus University. In consideration of the fact that the number of ships in the Arctic will also increase there is good reason to be on guard - including in Greenland.
