Johan Petersen Fjord sits on the eastern side of Greenland near the town of Tasiilaq. New research shows how the availability of carbon in Greenland’s waters is shifting poleward and appearing earlier than in previous decades. The findings will enhance understanding of carbon cycling and nutrient availability in this rapidly changing environment.
