Title: Bridging local narratives and scientific understanding of climate changes in the Arctic – a case study of a glacier-fed fjord in Kalaallit Nunaat

Abstract: Communities in Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) are facing new challenges and opportunities due to climate change. The fjord systems and coastal areas are projected to undergo significant changes as sea ice and glaciers retreat.

The Department of Earth System Science acknowledges our presence on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Acjachemen and Tongva peoples, who still hold strong cultural, spiritual and physical ties to this region.
