The MY Arctic Sunrise and her crew are facilitating the field work of oceanographers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, in order to calculate the impact of ocean warming on east Greenland's outlet glaciers. The scientists are keen to ascertain whether subglacial melting may be driven by contact with subtropical water - a field where little research exists.Locations:Greenland-Helheim Glacier-North AmericaDate:1 Jan, 2010Credit:© Gordon Hamilton / University of MaineDuration:1m55sAudio format:MuteProduction Type :B-ROLL-RUSHESRestrictions:Must be credited as: Gordon Hamilton/University of MaineKeywords:Climate (campaign title)-Climate change impacts-Glacier melt-Glaciers-Ice-Icescapes-KWCI (GPI)-Research-Science-TimelapseShoot:Scientific Research Project in GreenlandGreenpeace campaigner Iris Menn and Dr. Fiamma Straneo from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution carry out a scientific research project in Greenland by collecting data from moored instruments which measure parameters such as water temperature and flow rate in Kangerdlugssuaq fjord. The scientific research project is investigating the relationship between ocean temperatures and glacier melt. The scientists are collecting data from instruments placed in fjords during Greenpeace’s 2009 Arctic expedition. These findings are important to contributing to the first long-term data series on conditions in the fjords.Related Collections:Scientific Research Project in Greenland (Photos & Videos)
