IMG_9745 (1)_p.jpg PHD scientist Ian Bartholomews theodolite tripod being used to measure the speed of the Russelll 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

366W5383_measurement.jpg  Scientific equipment measuring the meltwater from the Russell Galcier that drains the Greenland Ice Sheet 26 km inland from Kangerlussuaq. Like most Greenland glaciers it is both receeding and speeding up as a result of global warming and the rivers that drain them are becoming more swollen by greater quantities of melt water
