Greenland Sharks Research: Scientists report Greenland sharks can live for centuries, with DNA-repair gene activity in their eyes helping them resist age-related damage—new clues from long-lived Arctic wildlife. Arctic Ocean Impacts: A study links Northeast Greenland glacier melt to a surge in iceberg release, reshaping deep-sea ecosystems and affecting shipping routes via “iceberg traffic.” Black Icebergs & Biodiversity: Researchers found that sediment-rich “black icebergs” in the Fram Strait leave rocky deposits that create new habitats for deep marine life, pointing to climate-driven ecosystem change. Rare Earths Security: Greenland’s Tanbreez project is moving from talk to permitting, as Western partners push to reduce dependence on China for heavy rare earths used in high-performance magnets. Japan-G7 Minerals Push: Japan urged G7 partners to set price floors and strengthen resilient supply chains against China’s critical-mineral export controls. Local Tech & Industry: Greenland Mines is tied to rare-earth dealmaking, while Japan also plans to assess Greenland mining feasibility to diversify supply. Ocean Monitoring Saved: After bipartisan backlash, the U.S. backed off dismantling the Ocean Observatories Initiative, which includes arrays near Greenland and supports climate and marine monitoring.
