AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoGreenland oil standoff: Greenland’s mineral authorities are warning a Trump-linked Texas oil venture that it lacks the permits needed to drill in East Greenland’s Jameson Land, with officials saying equipment can’t be allowed to go ashore and that approvals are not in place for this season. Ice loss in focus: Scientists report a major Petermann Glacier calving in northwest Greenland—about 76.4 sq km—creating a rare Arctic ice island and offering a chance to study how large floating ice forms and drifts. Arctic climate science hit: The Trump administration is ending federal support for the peer-reviewed Arctic Report Card, NOAA’s annual assessment that has tracked warming impacts across the region since 2006. Eclipse meets Greenland weather: Forecasts ahead of Aug. 12 say the total solar eclipse will cross Greenland, Iceland and Spain, but cloud cover may decide what people actually see, while the brief darkness is expected to nudge local temperature and wind along the path. Arctic fisheries deal: Despite wider geopolitical tensions, countries including Denmark (for Greenland and the Faroe Islands) are still backing the Central Arctic Ocean Fisheries Agreement, which bans commercial fishing in parts of the high seas until at least 2037. Mining update: Amaroq has started its 2026 resource drilling at the Nanoq gold project in South Greenland, aiming to expand the dataset toward a potential maiden Mineral Resource Estimate later this year.
