NorthGreen: Northeast Greenland – Unlocking records from sea to land

Activity: Academic and Industrial eventsConference, workshop or symposium

Description

NorthGreen aims to develop Mission Specific Platform (MSP) proposals with focus on Northeast Greenland margins and the surrounding Arctic Ocean. The sensitivity of the northern Greenland Ice Sheet to polar amplification, and year-round sea ice conditions make this region one of the most critical locations on the planet for understanding the effects of global warming. Moreover, with its oceanward connection to the Fram Strait, the Northeast Greenland margin presents a natural laboratory for understanding ice-ocean-tectonic interactions in a gateway pivotal for Earth’s climate.
