PROMICE-2022 ice mask: a high-resolution outline of the Greenland Ice Sheet from August 2022 Abstract. The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is losing mass at an accelerating rate in response to climate change. Its geometry responds to these changes over annual to decadal timescales, therefore makin...

New outline/ice mask of the Greenland outsheet published!

Highly detailed, accurate, and reliable ice sheet outline mapped from satellite data from August 2022.

Data set and paper is (finally) out in journal Earth Systems Science Data.

Drivers of Epilithic Biofilms in Greenland Streams: The Role of Nutrients, Temperature and Catchment Slope Across a Climate Gradient Microbial biofilms are crucial components in Arctic streams, and understanding how climate warming affects them is critical. Across three regions in Greenland, we found large differences in biofilm s...

🔬 New research! We studied epilithic biofilms in Greenlandic streams across a large climate gradient to uncover what shapes these microbial communities. Water temp, nutrients & catchment slope were key drivers! 🌍❄️🏔️ Curious? Full story ⬇️ enviromicro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Massive Greenland tsunami shook Earth for nine days Scientists launched an investigation after being baffled by seismic signals picked up across the world

Out today! The results of an awesome multidisciplinary collaboration of dozens of scientists across the globe (including me, in a very minor role)! A rockfall into a glacier into a fjord in Greenland caused a tsunami and seiche that generated a monotonic seismic signal for 9(!) days!

Evidence of Middle Holocene landslide-generated tsunamis recorded in lake sediments from Saqqaq, West Greenland Abstract. The Vaigat strait (Sullorsuaq) in West Greenland is well known for its susceptibility to landslides and historical landslide-generated tsunamis. Recent mapping of the seabed in the Vaigat st...

Our study on landslide-initiated tsunamis is out!

We find evidence of giant, prehistoric tsunamis coming from Vaigat strait, in the lakes of Saqqaq, W Greenland.

Thanks for the enjoyable collaboration to all involved: Kristian, Anne Sofie, Gregor, Mimmi, & Nicolaj!
