Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange solutions require as much varied and relevant information as possible.
This story is of a daunting, dangerous, and unique #scientific effort to help determine just how dire our extremely dire situation may be.
"#Scientists have less material from under the #IceSheet [covering #Greenland] than they do from the surface of the #moon."

Greenland Ice Sheet daily average melt area for #Summer2023 was the second highest in the past 45 years in NSIDC data. The typical summer melt area is now about three times what it was in the early 1980s. #ClimateChange #Greenland #Arctic #Climate

Interesting 3-month-old article on #geopolitics of #Greenland's highly-plausible future #independence from #Denmark. Ironically, #Russia worries that independence would make Greenland's foreign policy...less independent. https://jamestown.org/program/greenland-set-to-become-cockpit-of-controversy-between-east-and-west/

Who's watching who? A harp seal returns my gaze not realizing that it was a new species for me (but I doubt I was the first human for it). #Greenland

204 followers · 539 posts · Server fosstodon.orgThe Nuuk area in western Greenland (the type locality of #Sapphirine) is one of the places where sea level is falling! Not only is ice melting, uncovering new rocks and unloading the lithosphere, but the mass of ice that's missing no longer attracts the water, so it recedes. Read more at the Arctic Hub:

Sapphirine's type locality is in western Greenland, south of Nuuk, which is where the mineral was discovered in 1809 by Karl Giesecke.
It was named due to its blue color being similar to sapphire, a different, associated mineral (#corundum, aluminum oxide).
An amazing amount of information can be found about #sapphirine at MinDat:

a non-profit mineral data base founded in 2000 by Jolyon Ralph (who is on Mastodon at @jolyon).

Scientists race to find out how sick our planet is. The secret may lie in the melting ice fields of #Greenland: “The Greenland ice sheet is probably patient number one in the climate system.” @sarahkaplan48 @washingtonpost https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/08/29/arctic-ice-sheet-melting-climate-change/ #climate #climatechange

Retrööt PROMICE @PromiceGL:
"A huge melt event happened on the #Greenland ice sheet two days ago. A 10 Gt mass loss this late in August is rarely seen.

With #unprecedented #heat #waves and #record-breaking #global #temperatures, it’s hard to believe that there might be a #place on earth that has actually #COOLED since the #industrial #revolution. But, it turns out, there is such a spot. The #COLD #BLOB off of #Greenland mystified scientists for years, but new #studies have #uncovered a #scary #reality - this cool patch might be a #warning of the #impending #collapse of a #vital #earth #circulation #system. And the #consequences would be #dire.

Whoa! #Greenland Ice Sheet melt on Tuesday (August 22) at about 45% of the total ice sheet area is the highest this late in the summer in NSIDC data. The previous latest date with this high of melt area was August 15, 2021. #Arctic #Summer2023 H/T @ZLabe @Ruth_Mottram
