The first 3d model from #NANUQ2020 is being developed tonight at GREAL from drone images acquired on a 100x100 m area in #Greenland. It is a provisional model, meant to set up some analysis procedures, but gives an immediate feeling of the valuable Arctic landscape to be studied

AUG 11, 15.46 UTC - Skipper's message (2/2): "Conditions have now setteled and 2 groups are on land right now to continue field work that will be very complementary to observations on the #Blosseville Coast, especially the flora transects at ground level."

AUG 11, 09.27 UTC -Among scientific experiments onboard NANUQ in these days there is a probe measuring water temperature and other variables. Readings from the probe indicated unusually low sea-water temperatures over big distances in both crossings between Iceland and Greenland.

AUG 11 - Two days after NANUQ’s arrival to #Iceland, Large areas of #Greenland’s east coast, including #Blosseville Coast, appear to be in a “very close drift ice” conditions. It seems appropriate to say… “just-in-time”! (Thank you Mike Struik @Polarquest2018) for sharing!
