What's Hidden Under the Ice of Greenland?

[@Nalhirrim]

I'm from Greenland and live here. One of the reasons I somewhat support Danish rule is because I don't trust our own Greenlandic politicians. I'm afraid that some politician - if we ever become fully independent - will recieve a lot of money from some Russian, American or Chinese mining business and then suddenly agree to sell the rights to our underground minerals. At least when the Danes rule us, they (probably) won't just sell our country's resources off to some foreign company.

the effect of latitude in the climate has more to do with the angle in which sun light hits the surface of the planet than due to the thickness of atmosphere being crossed. This is because sun light on a oblique angle is spread out, while vertical or near vertical sun light is less spread out, or more concentraded. The difference of thickness between different latitudes is quite irrelevant in comparisson to the effect of angle irradiation.

[@supernoodles908]

That's not true. Well part of it is true. It's both the angle of incident and the fact it has to travel through more atmosphere to reach the ground. Even without the atmosphere planetary bodies have called the temperatures towards the polar regions simply due the angle of incident.

[@MicaelSG23]

@@supernoodles908 90% of the Earth's atmosphere mass is concentraded in the Troposphere, which is the last 10 km or so of the atmosphere. While the the thickness of the entire atmosphere can vary between 100 to 300 km depending on what scientists actually believe the ionspehere is actually atmosphere or not. Whatever the case, on a oblique angle, those 10 km won't become much thicker. It just doesn't have a big enough effect to even compare to angle irradiation.

[@lars3509]

Simple geometry tells us, that at a latitude of 60 ° N or S the energy per area through radiation is half of what it is at the equator (in spring/fall, obviously higher/lower in summer/winter). That is, before any reflective/absorbtive effects of the atmosphere are included. At 70 ° (roughly at the arctic circle) the intensity is just 35 % of that of the equator, quickly dropping to zero. I would argue, that this is the main contributor. Also, due to the fact that the relationship between angle of incidence and energy density is nonlinear (~cos(latitude)), the annual cycle has a way bigger effect on energy density than on the equator. I.E 50 ° between summer and winter make no difference close to the equator, but have a giant effect on the arctic, leading to almost no radiation in winter.

[@divingstag]

@@supernoodles908 The atmosphere absorbs little of the Sun's energy which is mostly visible light, your point stands more strongly for UV light. The atmopshere is almost half the thickness at 60°N as it is at the Equator, greatly mitigating the effect you're talking about, and also radiation absorbed by the atmosphere doesn't disappear, it becomes heat so somewhat irrelevant

[@spychopath]

1:32 Two different physical effects are being conflated here. The greater travel distance through the atmosphere means that more light and heat from the Sun gets absorbed or scattered. Also, the fact that the angle of incidence is more acute means that the incoming radiation is spread out over a larger surface area. Both have the same root cause that the latitude is high and hence the angle of incidence is low, but the physics between the two effects are vastly different.

It's not so much the distance from the sun, but rather the angle. At the equator, the sun is directly above (on average), so you're getting maximum sunlight. At 45th latitude, you're only getting 70%. In the Arctic circle, it's less than 50% or 60% even during arctic summer.

After all, the moon is still clearly visible during a lunar eclipse even though the Earth has completely blocked the sunlight from shining directly on the moon. The light that reaches the moon is mostly red because that is the wavelength that makes it through the Earths atmosphere.

If you care do be that accurate. Minute differences in solar radiation can have large effects over time.

You are mixing 2 factors up. 1. Sunlight travels longer through the atmosphere causing a smaller percentage to make it through to the surface. 2.

The reason there is weaker/less light this far north is because the sun strikes the earth at more of an angle at these latitudes, as opposed to more or less straight on at the equator, therefore, the suns rays are spread out over a larger area. It is not because they have to travel through "more atmosphere". You can see in the picture in the video the much larger area over which the suns rays are spread out over, compared to at the equator. The video also greatly exaggerates the thickness of the atmosphere. The atmosphere wouldn't even be visible on the scale of the images in the video. It would be less than a hairs thickness so the picture misrepresents reality, but unfortunately that misrepresentation could influence the understanding of these concepts. In fact, the atmosphere is thicker/higher at the equator than at the poles but that isn't mentioned in the video, and that certainly doesn't diminish the strength of the suns rays at the equator. As they are so far north there are also months of the year when there is no sunlight at all, again due to the angle of the earth, and has nothing to do with the atmosphere.

It will still be cool because the sun's rays are traveling through more atmosphere.

[@miridium121]

@@ewthmatth no. If you orient a small surface into a 90 degree angle at early morning or late evening that's a NEGLIGIBLE impact compared to how much the sun's rays are spread out over a larger area per unit at that time.

Earth is a globe (or technically geoid) so it doesn't matter if the effect is in a North-South or East-West direction, the effect still happens.

Minor correction to the physics in the beginning of the video - the basis for lower solar energy in the Arctic Circle isn’t because of the distance light has to travel in the atmosphere (although it is indeed longer, but not the primary effect), the the flux density being so much smaller. Basically imagine taking a “cylinder” of the same light aiming straight at something versus that something being at a really sharp angle to the light. The shape of the light spot will be much larger in the second scenario, which means the energy is distributed over a larger area… or said another way, the same area receives less energy than its counterpart.

Great video! BTW, some stats are mentioned at 16:24 and the attributed source is Greenland Minerals (stock code GGG - since then changed name to Energy Transition Minerals), a mining/exploration company. It's interesting to note that the company has discovered a great deposit of rare earth and other valiuable minerals but was blocked by the local government from developing it. The reason is that the ore contains a small amount of uranium, the mining of which is not allowed by law. Of course, there could very well be (likely to be) some political machinations in the background. The company offered some solutions for the handling of uranium but quoting the decision: "...the Company's exploitation licence application cannot be granted because it would involve exploitation of an ore body that contains more than 100 ppm of uranium (the threshold that was introduced in Greenland Parliament Act No. 20 of 1 December 2021 to ban uranium prospecting, exploration and exploitation, etc ('Act No. 20')". This was followed by a leagal bunfight which is still continuing but for now, it looks like the company all but lost the case. It wil be interesting to see what will happen in the future with the exploitation of some minerals in Greenland if uranium is a blocker.

Does Greenland really have geothermal resources that they use? I've only heard about Iceland with all their volcanoes. Also regarding solar I would expect they are too far North to take advantage of that as they get barely any daytime during the winter months, and the sunlight they do get is weaker than even we get through most of North America. It does seem to get plenty of wind however and could exploit that as a clean energy source.

Fun fact: What we call "rare earth minerals" are in fact quite common. China, and Brazil, are the top exporters 'cause extracting them causes a lot of pollution. And they simply don't care. But you could find them nearly anywhere. They put that name in the XIX century 'cause they really thought were rare. So, no need to kill millions of people and flood thousands of cities to extract "rare earth minerals" from Greenland. Also, we now know how to extract them better. It's just that we don't do it 'cause it's expensive and the impact of doing so (even without polluting the surrounding environment) is quite great. Nobody wants a big open mine close to home in the western world.

Yes, rare earths are not that rare, only their refinement is very messy and polluting. That's why the west doesn't bother refining their own. They'd rather buy it refined from China who doesn't care much about the environment and the people there can't say much. Many nations actually export the ore to China and buy back refined rare earths. But even if it's a dirty business China has monopolized it and the day it decides to punish the west, it surely has a big card in it's hand.

[@jeddvillaspin3379]

I was also in doubt why china is they claimed the biggest exporter of rare earth elements. How come that rare earth can only be found in their lands and not on other continents? Now that explains it. You need to destroy an entire forest and mountains, pollute your city just to produce one.

@@kvineet631 They can't do that because chinese economy is very reliant to export. If they "punish" the west, the west will just sanction them by banning imports from China until their economy falls which will cause a massive revolution. The west can dig their own rare earths if they commit.

[@bobthegoat7090]

From a quick drawing in GeoGebra I can see that at the point where the arctic circle begins, solar radiation have to travel 2.37 times as long through the atmosphere at equinox as at the equator at solar noon. Even when the north is tilted directly at the sun (summer solstice) it still has to travel 1.35 times as long as when the sun is not at an angle. That is hardly a negligible amount, and as you probably know that will reduce much of the radiation. Also do you mean solar irradiance (W/m^2), which is how much energy per second (equal to power) per unit area received from the sun, as I have never heard the term photoelectric density before? In case you want to replicate my equinox drawing, just create a circle with the radius of the earth (I just divided by 1000 as that worked better, so it was 6.371 units). Create another circle that is the radius of the earth plus atmosphere (6.371 + 0.1). Now make a point at an 66-degree angle, which would be at the start of the arctic circle. Then make a horizontal line from that point. Create a segment between the point on the earth circle and where the horizontal line intersects the atmosphere circle. The length of that segment will be 0.237, and that is 2.37 times longer than 0.1 which is the length at the equator. You can probably figure out how to do it at summer solstice. You will need to know that the earth is at an 23.4-degree angle.

[@Fade2GrayOG]

[@sittingstill3578]

He literally referred to what you are describing by discussing how much further light has to travel through the atmosphere in Greenland versus near the Equator.

[@flinch622]

Angularity does indeed present a much thicker atmosphere than simple math using concentric values. Between that and earths orbit around the sun being somewhat egg shaped, the two poles present somewhat different features for study. For example, it would likely take record breaking solar output to make an ozone hole appear at the north pole, because the planet is further from the sun during N. hemisphere summer than during the souths. The tangential aspect of polar atmosphere presented to solar output means higher probability of all kinds of reactions [even fast neutron, which is near to nil at the equator], but distance changes the density of all. I like the radio antenna analogy: the further from the tower you are, the lower watts per square meter-seconds drops. We've all [at least those over 40] been on a road trip to know that first hand as a radio station starts dropping out as we drive.

The primary reason for less sunlight is the oblique angle of incoming sunlight, not the longer path through the atmosphere. The longer path through the atmosphere is just a secondary reason.

15:24 "America, Europe and other western nations have largely no other choice..." I would say 'no other cheaper choice'. When enough money paid this metals would be found also in other places. As he mentioned at 15:02 "once upon a time it was the United States who was the largest producer of these rare earths...", and they stopped because getting them from China was cheaper.

[@kvineet631]

Yes. Rare earths are not that rare, only their refinement is very messy and polluting. That's why the west doesn't bother refining their own. They'd rather buy it refined from China who doesn't care much about the environment and the people there can't say much. Many nations actually export the ore to China and buy back refined rare earths. But even if it's a dirty business China has monopolized it and the day it decides to punish the west, it surely has a big card in it's hand.

Has Greenland ever considered some kind of mega project to capture the fresh water rather than it escaping into the ocean? It would help with water issues in places and, albeit not by a great amount, stave off some desalinization and sea level rise?

[@thureintun1687]

yes, i placed by God almighty

[@syas13]

It would be kinda hard tracking all the water escaping, seeing the vastness of the G- land, but like u mentioned, a mega project might do something.

[@goodvybe679]

Honestly I think just capturing the rain water around the world as much as possible is the easiest way, though there might a few good hotspots for capturing the ice as it melts

[@knodalishell5636]

lol no i think they understand that’s a pipe dream.

[@shallowmajnta8680]

The population and economy of Greenland is tiny, they wouldn't be able to finance a megaproject like that themselves

I had a buddy stationed at Thule. It's definitely not "major" lol, but it is important. The dude was so bored there, he got into collecting rocks 😆

[@jeffspaulding9834]

Thule's got all kinds of amazing rocks, though. And they have lapidary equipment that anyone can use. If you're going to pick up rockhounding, Thule's the perfect place for it. Source: that's how I got into rocks. We'll be bidding on a job up there soon and I hope I get to go back. I live in the great plains - not much for rocks around here.

[@TrulyMorningstar]

Greenland is quite vulnerable. I hope we can fix that, it’s also beautiful.

[@billhosko7723]

Greenland doesn't need 'fixing'... good grief... Earth has been a snowball in the past and ice-free in the past...

[@AfroAsiaticLanguages]

Becoming part of Canada would solve Greenland's vulnerability.
