    EASE-Grid Sea Ice Age Data Set
    NSIDC Distributed Active Archive Center

The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive
Center (NSIDC DAAC) announces the release of the EASE-Grid Sea Ice Age
data set. This data set provides weekly estimates of sea ice age for the
Arctic Ocean from remotely sensed sea ice motion and sea ice extent
beginning in November 1978. The ice age data are derived from a number
of passive microwave imagers, visible and infrared radiometers, drifting
buoys, and wind data.

To access the data and documentation, visit the data set web page at the
NSIDC DAAC: http://nsidc.org/data/nsidc-0611.html.

  1. New Book
    Rethinking Greenland and the Arctic in the Era of Climate Change
    By Frank Sejersen
    Published by Routledge

A new book entitled "Rethinking Greenland and the Arctic in the Era of
Climate Change" by Frank Sejersen and published by Routledge is now
available for purchase.

This book investigates how arctic indigenous communities deal with the
challenges of climate change and how they strive to develop
self-determination. Adopting an anthropological focus on Greenland's
vision to boost extractive industries and transform society, the book
examines how indigenous communities engage with these changes. It
applies a critical and comparative approach, integrating both local
perspectives and adaptation research from Canada and Greenland, to make
the case for recasting the way the Arctic and Inuit are approached
conceptually and politically. The emphasis on indigenous peoples as
future-makers and right-holders paves the way for a new understanding of
the concept of indigenous knowledge and a more sensitive appreciation of
predicaments and dynamics in the Arctic.
