AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoAMOC/“cold blob” update: New research links the North Atlantic “cold blob” south of Greenland and Iceland to reduced heat transport tied to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, with implications for Europe’s weather and heatwaves. AMOC stability debate: Another modelling study says Greenland meltwater would weaken AMOC more gradually and could be reversible if warming is halted—pushing back on fears of an abrupt, irreversible collapse. Greenland hazard reminder: Scientists have reconstructed Greenland’s 2003 Dickson Fjord mega-tsunami, tracing it to glacier retreat removing mountain support—an extreme example of how a warming Arctic can trigger sudden, dangerous events. Ocean monitoring in the North Atlantic: The U.S. Ocean Observatories Initiative’s buoy and deep-sea monitoring network off Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina, and Greenland was set to be dismantled, then paused after bipartisan backlash. Arctic shipping/energy: Critical-minerals and rare-gas moves continue around Greenland, including new Arctic vessel support for mining work and ongoing helium development deals. Culture & climate literacy: Greenlandic literature takes centre stage in Brno, while Indigenous stewardship stories highlight Greenland’s ice fields as living knowledge systems.
