What scientific research is being carried out in Greenland?

Go to the Arctic, Greenland: not for its coveted resources, but for what makes it a unique terrain for science. An island four times the size of France, 80% covered by an ice cap over 3 km thick in places, inhabited by 56,000 people. A veritable open-air laboratory, where ice, ocean and atmosphere interact to tell the story of climate. Here, researchers drill thousand-year-old cores, explore fjords and currents, and study an extreme biodiversity already upended by global warming.
