- [Community](https://giantgreenland.com/community/): Short active statement We are deeply committed to working with Greenland’s local communities, whose lives and livelihoods are closely tied to the changing ocean and ice environment. Fisheries, transport, and coastal infrastructure all depend on the stability of Greenland’s glaciers and fjords. While GIANT is rooted in science, we want the project’s impact to reach beyond the science community. By collaborating with local partners and authorities, we will ensure that new data and forecasts support local planning and resilience.  Our efforts to engage with the Greenlandic community include:  “This isn’t just about ice and physics — it’s about people. Changes […]
- [Modelling](https://giantgreenland.com/modelling/): Modelling Greenland’s glaciers into global systems The current generation of computer models of the Earth’s climate don’t fully capture how Greenland’s glaciers ‘feel’ the ocean. They often treat the glacier fronts as static, missing how ocean melting and iceberg calving interact with each other. We want to change that. Half of the GIANT team will focus on building next-generation simulation tools to predict the future of Greenland glaciers. These models will will build on the field observations captured from on top and in the water beside Greenland’s glaciers – as well as from satellites and drones. They will reproduce: ice […]
- [Fieldwork](https://giantgreenland.com/fieldwork/): Gathering data in and around Greenland will help answer major systems questions GIANT’s field campaigns will take researchers to the edge of the Greenland Ice Sheet — where towering glacier walls meet turbulent seas. We will uncover how ice interacts with ocean waters using cutting-edge drones, marine robots, satellites, and sensors. We will study two of Greenland’s most important glacier regions: near Kangerlussuaq in the southeast and Petermann in the northwest. Each offers a different window into how ice behaves as it meets the ocean, and what is driving ice loss.  Steep fjord glaciers like Kangerlussuaq are melted by the […]
- [GIANT Greenland](https://giantgreenland.com/): Investigating how the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet leads to Atlantic climate tipping points We’re working to understand how the warming ocean is making Greenland’s fjord glaciers melt, fracture, and collapse into the ocean — and what this means for our global climate. “We’re in a moment where our tools have finally caught up with our questions. With autonomous vehicles, advanced sensors, and powerful modelling — boosted by AI — we can explore glacier-ocean interactions in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago.” Dr Kelly HoganMarine Geophysicist, British Antarctic Survey+ Lead Creator on GIANT
