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

366W5940_virgin.jpg An Air Greenland helicopter flies over the Jacobshavn glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq drains 7% of the Greenland ice sheet and is the largest glacier outside of Antarctica. It calves enough ice in one day to supply New York with water for one year. It is one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day (19 metres per day before 2002) and has also receeded rapidly (40 km since 1850) due to human induced climate change as temperatures have risen in Greenland by 9 degrees fahrenheit in the last 60 years. An underwater moraine at the mouth of the fjord grounds the largest icebergs causing a backlog of ice completely blocking the entire length of the fjord with ice.

IMG_1192_palm.jpg Melt water on the Greenland ice sheet near camp Victor north of Ilulissat. The Greenland ice sheet is the largest ice sheet outside of Antarctica. Temperatues have risen by nine degrees fahrenheit in Greenland in the last 60 years due to human induced climate change. This is causing the ice sheet to melt at unprecedented rates which is deeply worrying as the ice sheet contains enough water to raise global sea levels by nine metres.

IMG_0036_cool.jpg The Russells Glacier draining the Greenland icesheet inland from Kangerlussuaq on Greenlands west coast. This glacier has speeded up in recent years and is also receeding rapidly due to human induced climate change. Greenland has warmed nine degrees fahrenheit in the last 60 years. Scientists believe the glacier is moving faster as increased quantities of meltwater are flowing down through moulins to reach the base of the glacier which then acts as a lubricant and allows the glacier to flow faster.

IMG_6908_marker post.jpg This stake shows the dramatic rate at which the Langjokull ice cap is retreating. It was placed at the edge of the ice sheet in the summer of 2009. 12 months later the ice cap has melted and retreated about 200 metres.
