We conduct research on ocean, sea-ice, and atmospheric conditions in the North Atlantic and the Arctic, and study connections with global climate and environmental changes.
Ever wondered what an iceberg’s path looks like?
Researchers in ACCIBERG are now tracking them with GPS tags – thanks to fieldwork partners in Greenland. The data helps improve Arctic forecasts and models.
