Ever Hear Of A Glacial Upwelling? Me Neither, But This Is What One In Greenland Looks Like

Having just returned from Greenland in recent weeks, I’ll be sorting out the video I gathered for a long time. In coming months there will be a Yale Climate Connections video covering the research I followed.

For now, here is small slice of what we saw.

3. This is very well what the end of the world as we know it looks like.

That water is glacial melt water that has flowed under the ice until it finds a weak point and comes to
the surface. God only knows how many millions/billions of gallons of water we are talking about here.

And as the sea levels rise salt water pushes inland and kill the trees and makes "ghost forests" like
the ones in N.J..

4. Fascinating mechanism - it's like a spring on land . . .

Water flows downward along the top of the resistant layer - the subglacial rock layer in this case - until it finds a weak spot and then spurts out.
