| Abstract | The GreenFjord-FIBER project is a scientific study that uses high-tech measurements to understand how Greenlandic glaciers flowing into the ocean change between winter and summer. The investigators are focusing on the points where the ice meets the ocean. With special sensors measuring vibrations and temperature, the investigators aim to measure where and when icebergs detach from the glacier and fall into the ocean. The investigators also want to find out where warm ocean water is melting the i |
