Project Details
Description of project aims
GIANT (Greenland Ice sheet to AtlaNtic Tipping points from ice loss) is a pioneering science project that will test the potential for early warning of a critical climate tipping point: the potential disruption of North Atlantic ocean currents due to accelerating Greenland Ice Sheet melt.
This ambitious project brings together cutting-edge technology, field observations, computer modelling and artificial intelligence to monitor, understand and predict the input of Greenland meltwater and icebergs into the North Atlantic.
