Last update: 5 hours agoArctic Science & Sovereignty: Canada’s largest icebreaker, CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent, reached the North Pole on Aug. 16, supporting seabed and continental-shelf mapping for Arctic Law of the Sea work. Greenland Climate Watch: A new study warns Petermann Glacier’s retreat is being driven by warm Atlantic water melting it from below, threatening the ice’s natural support. Ocean Systems: Oregon State University research links a weakening Atlantic current system (AMOC) to how the planet gains or loses heat, with direct implications for Greenland-region cooling. Deep-Sea Biology: Scientists say the Labrador Sea is a key oxygen source for deep North Atlantic life, highlighting what could change as oceans warm and lose oxygen. Geoengineering Debate: Researchers are exploring large-scale geoengineering ideas to slow glacier melt, as Greenland’s ice loss continues to reshape global climate risk. Mining & Mapping in Greenland: Greenland Mines (GRML) finished its 2026 Skaergaard bathymetric survey, producing high-resolution fjord data used immediately for safer anchoring and future navigation planning, while drilling shifts to resource definition. Space & Greenland: Quark Expeditions guests saw the Aug. 12 total solar eclipse from Harefjord, Greenland, with about two minutes of totality. Tech & Governance: A report highlights growing EU interest in open-source software as governments worry about dependence on US tech suppliers.
