Data sheet Title: Environmental Oil Spill Sensitivity Atlas for the West Greenland Coastal Zone. CD-version. Authors: A. Mosbech, K. L. Anthonsen, A. Blyth, D. Boertmann, E. Buch, D. Cake, L. Grøndahl, K.Q. Hansen, H. Kapel, S. Nielsen, N. Nielsen, F. Von Platen, S. Potter, M. Rasch. Publisher: Ministry of Environment and Energy The Danish Energy Agency URL: http://www.ens.dk Date of publication: June 2000 Abstract: This oil spill sensitivity atlas covers the shoreline and the offshore areas of West Greenland between 62º N and 68º N. The coastal zone are divided into more than 250 areas, and the offshore zone into 12 areas. For each area, a sensitivity index value is calculated and each area is subsequently ranked according to four degrees of sensitivity. Besides this general ranking, a number of smaller sites are especially selected as they are of particular significance, they are particularly vulnerable to oil spills and because an effective oil spill response can be performed. -

The History of Sámi Reindeer Husbandry in Greenland and the Transfer of Traditional Knowledge from Sámi Herders to Greenlandic Apprentices
Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education The History of Sámi Reindeer Husbandry in Greenland and the Transfer of Traditional Knowledge from Sámi Herders to Greenlandic Apprentices Lena Susanne Kvernmo Gaup Master thesis in Master of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies June 2019 The History of Sámi Reindeer Husbandry in Greenland and the Transfer of Traditional Knowledge from Sámi Herders to Greenlandic Apprentices A Master thesis submitted by Lena Susanne Kvernmo Gaup Master of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education UiT -The Arctic University of Norway June 2019 Supervised by Professor Else Grete Broderstad Centre for Sami Studies UiT- The Arctic University of Norway Cover page: Pississaarfik mountain in the Nuuk fjord, Greenland, and reindeer herd at Isortoq, Southern Greenland. Pictures taken by Lena Susanne Kvernmo Gaup To my late mother, Tove Kvernmo Gaup for always believing in me Prologue Finishing this thesis has been a long process since I started this journey as a 23-year- old student. I got interested in my research topic, Sámi reindeer husbandry in Greenland, while I was an exchange bachelor student at Ilisimatusarfik, The University of Greenland, in 2000– 2002. I chose to write my bachelor thesis about this topic, and did some fieldwork in Greenland and at home in Guovdageaidnu over the Easter holiday in 2002. When I started my master studies, I wanted to do more research on this topic, because there was so much left to research. It is a fairly unknown topic, both in Sápmi and in Greenland. The summer and fall of 2004, I did the first part of my master fieldwork different places in Sápmi, and in Greenland. -
A Comparison of Kangeq and Kapisillit, Greenland
Centre for Research on Settlements and Urbanism Journal of Settlements and Spatial Planning J o u r n a l h o m e p a g e: http://jssp.reviste.ubbcluj.ro Settlement Closure or Persistence: A Comparison of Kangeq and Kapisillit, Greenland Anthony J. DZIK 1 1 Shawnee State University, Department of Social Science, Portsmouth, Ohio, USA E-mail: [email protected] DOI: 10.19188/01JSSP022016 http://dx.medra.org/10.19188/01JSSP022016 K e y w o r d s: Greenland, site and situation, settlements, demographic change, resettlement program A B S T R A C T The founding and later persistence or demise of a settlement is often due to aspects of site and situation and their interplay. Historically, settlements in Greenland were located based on site characteristics, particularly animal resource exploitation possibilities, but fluctuations in the resource base often would impel people to relocate to places with better prospects. Settlements would be abandoned and new ones developed. In modern times the vagaries of nature have been accompanied by governmental directives which influenced settlement survival, growth, or closure. Kangeq and Kapisillit are two places where the interplays between site and situation eventually led to the closure of one and the survival of the other. This paper demonstrates that both locales shared some early history as well as some site traits and situational factors. The demise of Kangeq is shown to be mainly the result of a change in sea temperature and the Danish colonial government’s G50 and G60 initiatives. Kapisillit persisted through environmental change and population decline, and benefitted somewhat from certain government programs although cultural attitudes impeded the reindeer domestication experiment. -
Present Conditions in Greenland and the Kangerlussuaq Area
Working Report 2010-07 Present Conditions in Greenland and the Kangerlussuaq Area Anne Birgitte Nielsen January 2010 POSIVA OY Olkiluoto FI-27160 EURAJOKI, FINLAND Tel +358-2-8372 31 Fax +358-2-8372 3709 Working Report 2010-07 Present Conditions in Greenland and the Kangerlussuaq Area Anne Birgitte Nielsen Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland January 2010 Working Reports contain information on work in progress or pending completion. The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of author(s) and do not necessarily coincide with those of Posiva. ABSTRACT Greenland is the world’s largest island, with an area of 2.2 million square kilometres, 80 % of which is covered by the ice sheet. The climate is Arctic, but as Greenland stretches 2600 km from north to south, there is a huge variability in climate, with temperature decreasing from south to north. Due to the influence of oceanic currents, the west coast is slightly warmer than the east coast. Precipitation also decreases strongly from the south to the north, and also with distance from the coast. Kangerlussuaq is located in the dry, continental area of central west Greenland. The bedrock of Greenland is dominated by Precambrian gneisses, with sedimentary rocks occurring in some areas of East and North Greenland, and smaller areas of basalts. All of Greenland has been glaciated several times and has thus been eroded and shaped by the ice, as it still is at the ice margin. Soils are generally thin, and especially in the gneiss regions rather poor in plant nutrients. Permafrost occurs throughout the ice free areas of Greenland.
