Investigating Greenland's Melting Glaciers - Selected Rushes

Greenpeace 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.
