366W5534_scientist.jpg Water temperatures taken from the meltwater river at the snout of the Russell Glacier near Kangerlussuaq in Greenland. These measurments were taken by the scientist Ian Bartholemew as part of a PHD study by Edinburgh University. The study is looking at how increasing quantities of melt water caused by climate change are affecting the glaciers speed which like most glaciers in Greenland has speeded up considerably in the last 20 years. It is thought that the meltwater helps lubricates the glaciers base enabling it to flow faster.

366W5537_water sample.jpg PHD scientist Ian Bartholomew using dye tracing techniques as part of a study to measure the speed of the Russell Glacier near Kangerlussuag Greenland. The study is looking at how increasing quantities of melt water caused by climate change are affecting the glaciers speed which like most glaciers in Greenland has speeded up considerably in the last 20 years. It is thought that the meltwater helps lubricates the glaciers base enabling it to flow faster. As part of the study reflective poles were drilled 4 metres into the ice to measure their speed at various positions on the glacier. Within a month all the poles had fallen over as the glacier melted down over 4 metres

366W5703_flight.jpg An American Air Force flight approaching Kangerlussuaq Airport on Greenland after a resupply flight to the science base on the summit of the Greenland Ice sheet. Skis on the plane allow it to land and take off on ice and snow. There is an increasing interest in scientific research on the Greenland ice sheet as it is starting to melt rapidly. This is a concern as the ice sheet contains enough water to raise global sea levels by nine metres

366W8385_science.jpg Scientists Anthony Long and Sarah Woodroffe of Durham University geography department looking at glacial marine sediments near Ilulissat on Greenland. For the last 4 years they have been studying isostatic rebound or how the land is rising after the weight of ice is taken off it. If they can understand how the relative sea levels were affected by the changeing climate of the past they should be able to greater understand how the melting of the Greenland ice sheet will affect global sea levels. This understanding is crucial as the Greenland ice sheet contains enough warter to raise global sea levels by nine metres.

366W9172_plane.jpg A plane at Kangerlussuaq airport on Greenland being used to fly transect flights over the Greenland ice sheet to measure air pollution from forest fires in Siberia. This project is part of the International Polar Year. The soot from forest fires settles out on the ice sheet darkening the surface layer. This causes the ice to absorb more of the suns energy and melt even faster.

IMG_1743_core samples.jpg Core samples from an oil exploration vessel docked at Illulisat in Greenland. Exploring for oil in Greenland near Ilulissat is rather ironic as the Jacobshavn glacier has speeded up and is receeding rapidly due to human induced climate change caused by burning fossil fuels.
