KANGERTITTIVAQ (SCORESBY SUND) SUMMER FIELDWORK 2022

Kangertittivaq was the location for 2022 field work. Located in East Greenland just south of the large wildlife protected are Northeast Greenland National Park, Kangertittivaq is the largest fjord system in the world. The main fjord channel is ~110 km long but the extensive network of fjords includes some that extend much longer, up to 350 km, and reach depths of 1,450 m. Small islands are found throughout the fjords. Access to the field area for the team was through a small airport at Nertlerit Inaat (Constable Pynt).

Collecting a bedrock sample for cosmogenic nuclide dating in NW Greenland.

Link to an image gallery from 2022 summer field sampling in NW Greenland to support both the GRate  and the GreenDrill projects. Both projects focus on the contribution of the Greenland Ice Sheet to future global sea level, although GreenDrill is drilling through the ice to collect bedrock samples to look at past rock exposure.
