AGP Executive Report
Last update: 31 minutes agoDeep-Sea Mining: Greenland’s parliament unanimously voted to ban deep-sea mineral exploration and extraction through 2029, with possible extensions. The move aims to protect marine life and fisheries, a mainstay of the economy, amid renewed U.S. interest in the island’s resources. Greenland’s Ice: Fjord mud records show that shifts in the North Atlantic Oscillation have shaped southern Greenland’s rainfall, snowfall and ice for at least 5,000 years. The findings highlight snowfall’s role in ice changes but don’t yet show how glaciers will respond to future warming. Arctic Sea Ice: Clues from a warm period 6,000 years ago suggest winter sea ice could shrink by about one million square kilometres more than earlier projections indicated, with potential effects on weather beyond the Arctic.
