Ilulissat Icefjord
World Heritage Scanned Nomination File Name: 1149.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Ilulissat Icefjord DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 7th July 2004 STATE PARTY: DENMARK CRITERIA: N (i) (iii) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 28th Session of the World Heritage Committee Criterion (i): The Ilulissat Icefjord is an outstanding example of a stage in the Earth’s history: the last ice age of the Quaternary Period. The ice-stream is one of the fastest (19m per day) and most active in the world. Its annual calving of over 35 cu. km of ice accounts for 10% of the production of all Greenland calf ice, more than any other glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier has been the object of scientific attention for 250 years and, along with its relative ease of accessibility, has significantly added to the understanding of ice-cap glaciology, climate change and related geomorphic processes. Criterion (iii): The combination of a huge ice sheet and a fast moving glacial ice-stream calving into a fjord covered by icebergs is a phenomenon only seen in Greenland and Antarctica. Ilulissat offers both scientists and visitors easy access for close view of the calving glacier front as it cascades down from the ice sheet and into the ice-choked fjord. The wild and highly scenic combination of rock, ice and sea, along with the dramatic sounds produced by the moving ice, combine to present a memorable natural spectacle. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Located on the west coast of Greenland, 250-km north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord (40,240-ha) is the sea mouth of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the few glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea. -

Sheep Farming As “An Arduous Livelihood”

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. -
4 Ecological Environmental Effects Assessment Methods for Deterministic Oil Spill Modelling
CA PDF Page 105 of 1038 Part B: Deterministic Modelling of the Ecological and Energy East Project Human Health Consequences of Marine Oil Spills Volume 24: Ecological and Human Health Risk Section 4: Ecological Environmental Effects Assessment Assessment for Oil Spills in the Marine Environment Methods for Deterministic Oil Spill Modelling 4 ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ASSESSMENT METHODS FOR DETERMINISTIC OIL SPILL MODELLING 4.1 Introduction This section provides details for the approach to the deterministic assessment of physically or toxicologically induced changes in health of ecological receptors exposed to spilled crude oil, or chemical constituents of spilled crude oil. Results of the assessment are provided for three spill scenarios: (i) a grounding in Saint John Harbour; (ii) a collision in the Bay of Fundy; and (iii) a grounding south of Grand Manan) (see Sections 6, 7 and 8). This ecological risk assessment (ERA) follows accepted risk assessment methodologies and follows guidance published and endorsed by regulatory agencies, including CCME (1996, 1997), Government of Canada (2012a) and the U.S. EPA (1989, 1998). 4.2 Ecological Risk Assessment Problem Formulation Problem formulation is the initial information gathering and interpretation stage that focuses the assessment on areas of primary concern within the study area for marine accidents and malfunctions (SAMAM). The problem formulation defines the nature and scope of the work to be conducted, and enables practical boundaries to be placed on the overall scope of work, -

Rink. Cover Mosaic of satellite images showing the Greenland ice sheet to the east (right), Jakobshavn Isbræ, the icefjord Kangia and the eastern part of Disko Bugt. The position of the Jakobshavn Isbræ ice front is from 27 June 2004; the ice front has receded dramatically since 2001 (see Figs 13, 45) although the rate of recession has decreased in the last few years. The image is based on Landsat and ASTER images. Landsat data are from the Landsat-7 satellite. The ASTER satellite data are distributed by the Land Processes Distribution Active Archive Center (LP DAAC), located at the U.S. Geological Survey Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science (http://LPDAAC.usgs.gov). Frontispiece: facing page Reproduction of part of H.J. Rink’s map of the Disko Bugt region, published in 1853. The southernmost ice stream is Jakobshavn Isbræ, which drains into the icefjord Kangia; the width of the map illustrated corresponds to c. 290 km. Chief editor of this series: Adam A.

The evidence for the beginning of the See table of contents Wisconsinan ice sheet in various areas of Canada and the northern United States is briefly reviewed. The general absence of sound geochronometric frameworks for potential Sangamonian or Early Wisconsinan glacial deposits Publisher(s) has led to a situation where in most areas it can be argued, depending on one's interpretation, that ice completely inundated or was completely absent at that Les Presses de l'Université de Montréal time. On the premise (perhaps false) that Laurentide Ice was in fact extensive during the Early Wisconsinan, a map showing maximum possible ice extent, as ISSN put forward by some authors is presented and the glacigenic units possibly 0705-7199 (print) recording the ice advance are shown in a correlation chart. -
