Out on the ice with a bigger team today, here's a completely accidental drone shot showing our colleagues from the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources deploying some instruments under the sea ice to measure ocean noise and narwhal populations.
DMI and GINR are collaborating in the EU #HorizonEurope project #ArcticPassion which this works contributes to. I was flying the drone and doing snow work for DMI that will be used in another EU project @polarRES, and it will probably also be used together with ESA satellite data: a nice example of EU projects working together in the #PolarRegions #Greenland#Grønland#Fieldwork#Fieldphoto#Fieldwork2024#Arctic#Snow#SeaIce#DMI#GINR#NCKF
It was a long way off and cropped heavily. But the Gyrfalcon and ravens were at each other today. Here the Raven has flipped over to meet the Gyr’s attack. #Nunavut#Arctic#birding#WildlifePhotography

Former Kivalliq Inuit Association and Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated president Paul Kaludjak sees the overall cost of living and the cost of transportation as still being two negatives for Nunavut.

April 1 snowpack snow water equivalent as a percent of 1991-2020 median in/around Alaska from ERA5 Land courtesy of ECMWF/Copernicus. Most of Alaska snowpack is near to above normal with a small exception in the central Interior and a larger exception in central and southern Southeast. In Canada, much of northern BC, NW Alberta and western NWT snowpack is far below typical for this point in the season. #akwx#ytwx#ntwx#Arctic#SnowPack#Hydrology#Wildfire @Climatologist49@DeniseGutzmer
