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

366W5476_sample.jpg Water samples taken from the meltwater river at the snout of the Russell Glacier near Kangerlussuaq in Greenland. These samples 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.

366W5503_theodolite.jpg PHD scientist Ian Bartholomews theodolite measuring 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

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
