country: Denmark

The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) is an internationally oriented, independent research and advisory institution within the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities. GEUS carries out activities to exploit and protect geological resources in Denmark and Greenland. Primary activities are mapping, compilation and storage of data, research, monitoring and consultancy within water, energy, minerals and climate and environment.

GEUS will contribute with in-situ measurements of accumulation and snow temperature from the Greenland Ice Sheet using new instrumentation, as well as satellite-derived albedo of snow over all the sites investigated in LIQUIDICE. GEUS will further model the dynamical response and subsequent meltwater runoff of two ice-sheet catchments in Greenland to future climate change.
