Archaeologies of Climate Change in Greenland – New Film

We are excited to announce the production of a new short film – Greenland RESPONSE – on the archaeologies of climate change in UNESCO Kujataa Greenland. The film follows the efforts of the Greenland RESPONSE project to rescue heritage as the pressures of rising global temperatures threaten archaeological sites.

This is the product of Michael Nielsen (Greenland Museum and Archives) and Alice Watterson (U Iceland). This film was produced through the National Science Foundation supported grant “Coproduction of knowledge and the building of local archaeological capacity in Greenland” by Hunter College CUNY with principle investigators Tom McGovern (IHOPE SSC), Jette Arneborg, Konrad Smiarowski, Christian K Madsen, and Ian Simpson. The project was funded by the National Science Foundation with support from the Greenland National Museum, UNESCO Bridges, NABO and the University of Iceland.

Watch this captivating film and learn more about the archaeologies of climate change in Greenland.
