Geologist Jonathan Martin and his team have received a $2.2 million grant from NSF to study landscapes exposed by retreating ice sheets in Greenland. They believe Greenland’s streams show important information about how the Earth changes and the consequences of global warming.
The research began with a trip to Greenland in 2011, which actually failed. “When we realized there were no accessible springs, we decided to switch the sampling plan to collecting water from two unique kinds of streams we found in the region,” says Martin. The grant will also allow Martin to collaborate with researchers based in Greenland.
