I'm glad you guys started this thread. Good place to organize some links and plenty of information. This entire issue grows more interesting (and important) every day.

...I doubt there is any occupation or field of endeavor that is immune from this plague. Ha! I was thinking along similar lines. Personally, I find it amazing how many realtors are experts in the fate-transport systems of petroleum compounds in shallow aquifers.

I noticed the article in Swiss news I linked to above has corrected the depth figure from 80 centimeters to 80 meters.

This story has started getting some legs. There have been several radio interviews (mostly in Europe, and one in Canada scheduled this Saturday), at least one TV interview (in Danish, if you actually speak Danish, at 50:47 in the program), and larger news outlets are starting to write about it, in addition to the Yahoo! story above: In response to the denier-argument posted on WUWT, a blogger (with no prompting or help from us) read our paper and posted a rather long explanation of why the deniers got it wrong: "Greenland really has been melting, can someone tell Anthony Watts"
My phone is still silent, which I'm okay with, lol. Plenty else to do at the moment. - Mike

I had to cringe just a bit when they were quoting Liam there: That is correct when averaged over the entire year, which is the point he was making. It's a good way to put it too. 250 gigatons per year is hard to wrap your head around, 8,000 tons a second makes you realize it's a lot. But Greenland still gains significant mass in the winter (from snow) and loses almost all of it in the summer to melt & calving, so it can be taken the wrong way when you talk about it losing mass "every second, year-round, day in and day out."I get what he was saying, but deniers will latch onto that pretty quickly to point out how full-of-**** he is, I can see it now.

I won't claim that they are worth watching all the way through but I've got some raw footage of some of our experience that you can skim through.

Given the fact that I am someone who starts a fire as soon as the temp drops below 70 degrees, I have to say that Arctic Storm looks absolutely miserable. I have a lot of respect for what you guys are doing.

I have nothing to add, except that this is a really neat thread. Thank you for sharing. I've learned quite a bit from it.

Your mess tent is a mess. Those videos of Dye-2 were enjoyable. Combining two of my favorite things: frozen stuff and abandoned stuff.

Your mess tent is a mess. Lol yeah, well, 6 guys stormed in, sitting in that tent for two days straight, we kinda put stuff wherever we felt like putting it at that point. It all gets cleaned up, no worries.
