Abstract In order to investigate how Inuit Greenlanders in western Greenland are experiencing, responding to, and thinking about recent allegedly human-induced climate change, this dissertation ethnographically examines the lives of Greenlanders as well as Norse and Danes in the course of past historical natural climate cycles. My emphasis is on human endeavours to cultivate a future in the face of difficulties caused by climatic and environmental transformation. I recognize locals’ initiatives to carve out a future in the promotion of sheep farming and tree-planting in southern Greenland and in adaptation processes of northern Greenlandic hunters to the ever-shifting environment. -
Bequest of the Norseman—The Potential for Agricultural Intensification and Expansion in Southern Greenland Under Climate Change
land Article Bequest of the Norseman—The Potential for Agricultural Intensification and Expansion in Southern Greenland under Climate Change Chatrina Caviezel, Matthias Hunziker and Nikolaus J. Kuhn * Department of Environmental Sciences, Physical Geography and Environmental Change, University of Basel, Klingelbergstrasse 27, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland; [email protected] (C.C.); [email protected] (M.H.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +41-61-207-0741 Received: 20 October 2017; Accepted: 4 December 2017; Published: 7 December 2017 Abstract: The increase of summer temperatures and a prolonged growing season increase the potential for agricultural land use for subarctic agriculture. Nevertheless, land use at borderline ecotones is influenced by more factors than temperature and the length of the growing season, for example soil quality, as the increasing lengths of dry periods during vegetation season can diminish land use potential. Hence, this study focuses on the quality of the soil resource as possible limiting factor for land use intensification in southern Greenland. Physical and chemical soil properties of cultivated grasslands, reference sites and semi-natural birch and grassland sites were examined to develop a soil quality index and to identify the suitability of soils for a sustainable intensification and expansion of the agriculture. The study revealed that soils in the study area are −1 generally characterized by a low effective cation exchange capacity (CECeff)(3.7 ± 5.0 meq 100 g ), low pH CaCl2 (4.6 ± 0.4) and low clay and silt content (3.0 ± 1.0% and 38.2 ± 4.7%, respectively). Due to the high amount of coarse fraction (59.1 ± 5.8%) and the low amount of soil nutrients, an increasing threat of dry spells for soils and yield could be identified. -
Insights from West Greenland Caribou
Movement patterns and habitat selection – insights from West Greenland caribou Katrine Raundrup Industrial PhD Thesis 2018 Data sheet Title: Movement patterns and resource selection – insights from West Greenland caribou Subtitle: Industrial PhD Thesis Author: Katrine Raundrup Institute: Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, Greenland Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, Denmark Year of 2018 publication: PhD Senior Researcher Jacob Nabe-Nielsen and Senior Advisor Peter Aastrup, Aarhus Supervisors: University, Denmark, and Head of Department and Researcher Josephine Nymand, Greenland Institute of Natural Resources Assessment Professor Birgitta Åhman, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Sweden, committee: Researcher Bram Van Moorter, Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, Norway, and Senior Researcher Dr. Morten Frederiksen (chair), Aarhus University, Denmark Funding: GrønlandsBankens Erhvervsfond, Government of Greenland and Greenland Institute of Natural Resources Abstract: Caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) in the Akia-Maniitsoq population were found to be partial migrators as ca. 85 % were migrators or mixed-migrators while ca. 10 % were resident. The average distance between summer and winter home ranges depended on individual movement type; migrators and mixed migrators moved on average 57 km between ranges, whereas resident animals moved only 7 km. Average home range sizes were larger in summer than in winter (96 km2 vs. 35 km2), and were dependent on caribou body length. Furthermore, migrators had larger home ranges than residents. The caribou selected annual home ranges, which were characterized by the presence of the vegetation types heath, copse and grassland. This corresponds to findings at patch scale where caribou preferred copse during summer while grassland and snowbed rich in lichens were preferred during winter. -
The History of Qasigiannguit
- The Arctic Region of Disko - The History of Qasigiannguit by Peter Chapman Mountain Environment Early Colonisation of Disko The Arctic Region of Disko he history of Qasigiannguit probably begins around the time that the first ever settlers arrived in Disko Bay. Saqqaq settlements have been found close to Qasigiannguit that date from 2400 BC and it is known that the later T Greenlandic Dorset and Thule cultures also populated the Disko region. These peoples must have trodden the shores where Qasigiannguit is located, thus seeing the locations’ potential as later colonisers did. The Greenlandic or Inuit people of today are direct descendants of the Thule people who arrived in the region around 1100 AD. It was also around this time that Norse travellers from their settlements on the southwest coast travelled northwards and traded with the Thule people of Disko. The Norse settlers however, soon disappeared from Greenland and it was not until after the 15th century (when cartographers began thinking of the earth as a globe and were trying to draw in an unknown arctic region) that new interest in the Arctic was gained among Europeans. In search of the Northwest Passage, the English explorer John Davis commanded three expeditions to the Davis Strait and Baffin Bay areas. On these journeys he interacted notably with the local Inuit population, particularly at a settlement later to become Godthaab (today the capital Nuuk). In 1587, Davis sailed up along the west coast of Greenland to Sanderson’s Hope near Upernavik at 72o46’N, having passed Disko Island. Davis was a sterling mariner and provided unprecedented data from his voyages - charts of over 1000km of previously uncharted coastline, notes on ice and sea conditions, flora and fauna, of Greenland’s interior near Godthaab and ethnographic descriptions of the Inuit he met. -

Uranforekomsten blev fundet i 1956 og er siden blevet geologisk kortlagt og opmålt. Der har været gennemført flere boreprogrammer, og der er boret i alt 70 huller; den samlede borekernelængde er 11 km. I 1962 blev der udta- get 180 t malm fra en 20 m skakt i kanten af Kvanefjeldsplateauet, og 1979-81 4.700 t malm fra en 970 m lang tunnel, der gik tværs gennem forekomsten, ca. 150 m under over- fladen. I 1988 indførte man den såkaldte nultolerance1, hvilket indebar, at ingen mineraludvin- ding kunne finde sted, hvis der samtidig fandtes forekomster af uran. Tanken om uranud- vinding har ikke tidligere delt den grønlandske befolkning, men i de seneste år, hvor det har været på tale at udvinde de sjældne jordarter, som bl.a. findes i Kuannersuit har man måttet tage stilling til om de kunne udvindes, eller ej, fordi de sjældne jordarter findes i den samme malm, hvor uranen befinder sig. -
