WP8 adventured to Ilulissat in Greenland in March 2026 to engage with local stakeholders.

The DTU team have been in Greenland again in summer and fall 2025 to study the linkages between permafrost thaw and drinking water quality.

The Portuguese team set off on August 22nd to Sisimiut, Greenland, with the mission of collecting samples for contaminants in flora and fauna.

The fantastic town of Sisimiut welcomed us again in February 2026, thanks to the Arctic DTU.

Work packages 1, 2 and 3 joined efforts together with the project ThinIce (Thawing industrial legacies in the Arctic - a threat to permafrost ecosystems) also this year, in the western arctic tundra.

Summer means expeditions in Arctic research. A team, led by the ILLUQ coordinator Hugues Lantuit, is currently on the Hersechel Island / Qikiqtaruk on field work related to the WPs 1 and 6.
