At the moment, the Northeast Greenland Caves Project is concentrating on planning and fundraising in preparation for our expedition in the summer of 2015. In the meantime, we are however busy elsewhere, helping colleagues out with other interesting climate-change related projects.
During a rather wet day at the end of July, 2014, Project Leader Dr. Gina Moseley assisted Dr. Lindsey Nicholson of the Ice and Climate research unit at the University of Innsbruck with setting up a weather station on a debris covered glacier. Lindsey’s project aims to “quantify the impact of multiple ablation processes operating at the glacier surface, and to develop numerical models that will allow more accurate prediction of future runoff from debris-covered glaciers.”
