Greenland: A Laboratory For The Symptoms Of Global Warming

KANGERLUSSUAQ, GREENLAND - JULY 10: Jonathan B. Martin and Ellen Martin from the University of Florida, Department of Geological Sciences meet with their team to discuss their research project to analyze the water chemistry coming out of the glacial environment and using that to understand how the melt is effecting the sea waters on July 10, 2013 in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. As the sea levels around the globe rise, researchers affilitated with the National Science Foundation and other organizations are studying the phenomena of the melting glaciers and its long-term ramifications. The warmer temperatures that have had an effect on the glaciers in Greenland also have altered the ways in which the local populace farm, fish, hunt and even travel across land. In recent years, sea level rise in places such as Miami Beach has led to increased street flooding and prompted leaders such as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to propose a $19.5 billion plan to boost the citys capacity to withstand future extreme weather events by, among other things, devising mechanisms to withstand flooding.
