AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoEarth Monitoring: Europe’s new Sentinel-3C satellite has begun measuring ocean heights and Greenland’s ice-sheet elevation, offering an early test of tools built to track environmental change. Greenland Sharks: Researchers are turning to DNA to investigate the sharks’ extraordinary longevity; earlier work estimated one specimen was about 392 years old, though the estimate carries a wide margin of error. Critical Minerals: The EU’s selection of a rare-earth processing project in Estonia could strengthen a potential supply chain from Greenland’s Sarfartoq deposit to European facilities. Ice-Sheet Risks: Recent research found Greenland dominates studies of climate tipping points, while other potentially vulnerable systems receive far less attention. Camp Century: NASA’s radar rediscovery of the buried Cold War base has renewed questions about what abandoned materials beneath Greenland’s melting ice could mean for the environment.
