NASA, the National Science Foundation, and universities support a variety of field research in Greenland.

UCLA's Larry Smith, Vena Chu from UC Berkeley and other reserachers conduct work in the ablation, or melt zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The work included the deployment of floating sensors, conducting 72 continuous hours of melt water profiles, and ice mapping using fixed-wing drones.

Grace Andrews and her colleague sample melt water originating from the Russell Glacier as part of a study on C02 evasion led by Andrew Jacobson from Northwestern University.
