AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoGreenland Ice Science: British researchers on the RRS Sir David Attenborough recorded a major Sorgenfri glacier calving event—about 18 million metric tonnes of ice breaking off in one evening, forming a roughly 1 km-wide, 100 m-thick ice wall and sending waves across the fjord area. Eclipse Tech & Planning: Next Wednesday, Aug. 12, a total solar eclipse will sweep across Greenland, Iceland and into Spain, with Greenland’s totality lasting up to just under 2.5 minutes; organizers and scientists are also warning that cloud cover will make or break viewing, and that only certified glasses are safe outside totality. Grid Stress Test: The eclipse is also being framed as a real-world challenge for solar-powered electricity systems in Europe, where rapid drops in sunlight can force grids to respond to steep “solar ramps.” Arctic Policy: A European Policy Centre brief argues the EU should publicly call US threats to buy or invade Greenland illegal and back Nuuk with investment and technical support. Space Security: A bipartisan US Senate bill would expand Space Force training and wargaming for potential conflict with China, including a new public assessment of China’s commercial space capabilities.
