Greenland

open access: yes, 2011
Coastal Surface Air Temperatures Record-setting high air temperatures were registered at all of the west Greenland long-term meteorological stations (Table 5.2). At Nuuk (Fig. 5.19), winter 2009/10 and spring and summer in 2010 were the warmest since 1873, when measurements began.

Repositioning Power Relations in Indigenous Social Work Education

open access: yesNordisk tidsskrift for pedagogikk og kritikk
In this article, we present the history of social work education in Greenland, from a professional training school in 1985 to a university BA-level education in 2008 and onwards to the present day.

Complementarity Assessment of South Greenland Katabatic Flows and West Europe Wind Regimes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Current global environmental challenges require vigorous and diverse actions in the energy sector. One solution that has recently attracted interest consists in harnessing high-quality variable renewable energy resources in remote locations, while using transmission links to transport the power to end users.

Modelling the climate and surface mass balance of polar ice sheets using RACMO2 – Part 1: Greenland (1958–2016)

open access: yes, 2017
. We evaluate modelled Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) near-surface climate, surface energy balance (SEB) and surface mass balance (SMB) from the updated regional climate model RACMO2 (1958–2016). The new model version, referred to as RACMO2.3p2, incorporates

Rapid ablation zone expansion amplifies north Greenland mass loss

open access: yesScience Advances, 2019
Increased summer cloudiness triggers rapid ablation zone expansion in north Greenland, amplifying the mass loss. Since the early 1990s, the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) has been losing mass at an accelerating rate, primarily due to enhanced meltwater ...

Patterns in contacts with primary health care centres in Greenland

open access: yesInternational Journal of Circumpolar Health, 2023
The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity within the primary health care (PHC) in Greenland by identifying the patterns of all registered contacts made by patients in 2021, and to compare the most frequently used types of contacts and diagnostic

Accelerating changes in ice mass within Greenland, and the ice sheet’s sensitivity to atmospheric forcing

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance The recent deglaciation of Greenland is a response to both oceanic and atmospheric forcings. From 2000 to 2010, ice loss was concentrated in the southeast and northwest margins of the ice sheet, in large part due to the increasing discharge ...

Twenty-first century ocean forcing of the Greenland ice sheet for modelling of sea level contribution

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2020
. Changes in ocean temperature and salinity are expected to be an important determinant of the Greenland ice sheet's future sea level contribution. Yet, simulating the impact of these changes in continental-scale ice sheet models remains challenging due ...
