e_polar global flooding mitigation

project aim- global flooding mitigation in Greenland project managed from Denmark providing underwater walls, artificial islands and pumping stations towards channelling cold water into the bases of glaciers to stop them from melting and sliding into the sea, where Local partners may include;

Danish government

University of Lapland

Finland & US Scientific community

with potential risks, especially to local ecosystems, requiring careful analysis.

where Geoengineering of glaciers has received little attention in journals, GOG could delay much of Greenland and Antarctica’s grounded ice from reaching the sea for centuries, buying time to address global warming.

Researchers say the work — costing tens of billions of dollars a time — is urgently needed to prevent polar glaciers melting and raising sea levels. That would lead to major inundations of low-lying, densely populated areas, such as parts of Bangladesh, Japan and the Netherlands.
