This photo was taken during our #fieldwork in #Qaanaaq this year, which saw the earliest break up in our record of sea ice. The melting of the Greenland ice sheet has a global impact, but there are big local impacts too.
Full details of this year's melt season in @carbonbrief.org now
As promised last night, I jotted down a few notes on what we're up to in #Qaanaaq and how yesterday's sea ice fieldwork went.

View from research station over sea ice and icebergs to mountains on the other side of the fjord. In the middle distance a reflective band is a wide lead in the sea ice where it is breaking into large flakes
Time for a #FieldDiary update. We made it to #Qaanaaq, 1000+km north of Ilulissat + it's a wonderful sunny "evening". The ice has started to break in big flakes close to town, so we made decision to do sea ice programme tomorrow as probably a last chance.

Way back in April, I left some instruments in the melange zone of some #glaciers in #Greenland. Now it's time to get them back.
I spent half an hour procrastiwriting about how we plan to do that and our #Qaanaaq project on #IceMelange #SeaIce and calving [β¦]
