Greenland Telescope (GLT) Project: "A Direct Confirmation of Black Hole with Submillimeter VLBI" [PDF]
, 2013 The GLT project is deploying a new submillimeter (submm) VLBI station in Greenland. Our primary scientific goal is to image a shadow of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) of six billion solar masses in M87 at the center of the Virgo cluster of galaxies. The expected SMBH shadow size of 40-50 $\mu$as requires superbly high angular resolution, suggesting

Glacial/interglacial changes in mineral dust and sea-salt records in polar ice cores: sources, transport, and deposition [PDF]
, 2007 Sea salt and mineral dust records as represented by Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations, respectively, in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores show pronounced glacial/interglacial variations. For the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) mineral dust (sea salt) concentrations

There are natural scores: Full comment on Shafer, "Testing by betting: A strategy for statistical and scientific communication" [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Shafer (2021) offers a betting perspective on statistical testing which may be useful for foundational debates, given that disputes over such testing continue to be intense. To be helpful for researchers, however, this perspective will need more elaboration using real examples in which (a) the betting score has a justification and interpretation in ...

Impact of ocean stratification on submarine melting of a major Greenland outlet glacier [PDF]
, 2011 Submarine melting is an important balance term for tidewater glaciers1,2 and recent observations point to a change in the submarine melt rate as a potential trigger for the widespread acceleration of outlet glaciers in Greenland3-5.

Optically driven silicon-based quantum gates with potential for high-temperature operation [PDF]
, 2003 We propose a new approach to constructing gates for quantum information processing, exploiting the proper-ties of impurities in silicon. Quantum information, embodied in electron spins bound to deep donors, is coupled via optically induced electronic ...

Rapid change in the ciprofloxacin resistance pattern among Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains in Nuuk, Greenland: time to reconsider preventive and treatment strategies [PDF]
International Journal of Circumpolar Health, 2015 Objectives: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including infections with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC), are highly incident in Greenland. Since January 2011, GC testing has been performed on urine with nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) by strand

Estimating seal pup production in the Greenland Sea using Bayesian hierarchical modeling [PDF]
, 2018 The Greenland Sea is an important breeding ground for harp and hooded seals. Estimates of the annual seal pup production are critical factors in the abundance estimation needed for management of the species. These estimates are usually based on counts from aerial photographic surveys.

Finetuning a Kalaallisut-English machine translation system using web-crawled data [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 West Greenlandic, known by native speakers as Kalaallisut, is an extremely low-resource polysynthetic language spoken by around 56,000 people in Greenland. Here, we attempt to finetune a pretrained Kalaallisut-to-English neural machine translation (NMT) system using web-crawled pseudoparallel sentences from around 30 multilingual websites. We compile a

Influences of salinity on the physiology and distribution of the Arctic coralline algae, Lithothamnion glaciale (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) [PDF]
, 2018 In Greenland, free-living red coralline algae contribute to and dominate marine habitats along the coastline. Lithothamnion glaciale dominates coralline algae beds in many regions of the Arctic, but never in Godthåbsfjord, Greenland, where Clathromorphum
