	Forward - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A forward is an umbrella term for centres and wingers in ice hockey
		Forward, the publication of the Socialist League (often called the "Forward Group") in Canada during the 1970s and 1980s.
		Forward, pronounced "forrard", refers to the front-most part of a ship and is the opposite to aft.

	Greenland Paddling
		Forward movement is achieved by twisting the torso, not by pulling or pushing on the paddle.
		To do this with a Greenland paddle, the hands are spread a little further apart and the paddle is held nearly vertical.
		This is similar to the forward stroke with a conventional paddle.

	Maligiaq
		I have seen many paddlers in Greenland who appear to hold their paddles with the blade more or less at a right angle to the surface of the water.
		During the return part of the stroke, the blade moves forward as it is lifted out of the water, then it curves downward again as it goes into the water.
		To Greenlanders, the most important advantage of this stroke is that it makes it easier for the working blade to slip out of the water at the end of a stroke.

	Greenland Paddle
		He was using a Greenland paddle, and it just looked right--especially after I blew a bunch of rolls with my Werner paddle, including the all-time mud roll in which I left the paddle stuck in the mud, after nearly impaling myself on it.
		Greatly aided by the use of the Greenland paddles, I developed some proficiency in bracing and rolling, and on a trip out of Barn Island with Jane Ahlquist, the big G expressed an interest in the paddles I was using.
		By leaning as far forward on the deck as you can at the start of the stroke, you can closely imitate the action of a rower pulling on an oar, and this action, combined with the sweep generated by your rotating torso, makes for a very powerful stroke.

	Rutabaga - Greenland Style Paddling
		Inuit designs from Greenland have had a tremendous impact on modern design, and Inuit paddlers are perhaps the most skilled in the world.
		The hands hold the paddle at the root of the blades, with the thumb and forefinger on the loom and the remaining fingers on the blade.
		Using Greenland braces properly, it is possible to suspend your body in the water for a rest or to set up for an easy roll.

	Greenland Technique From the Source
		For someone who has dreamt for years of traveling to Greenland and has spent hundreds of hours watching, rewinding and studying the videotaped images of Greenland paddlers, it was a thrill to interact with a skilled Greenland kayaker firsthand.
		Many Greenlanders report that this knee pressure, coming from the knee on the opposite side of the blade in the water, is the foundation of their stroke.
		It is very apparent in an a low-volume Greenland kayak, but you may need to pad the underside of your foredeck to feel this effect in a large volume kayak.

		It gave Greenland equal rights with the rest of the Danish Kingdom and gave the people of Greenland the right to elect a legislature, however, laws that affected Greenland continued to be made by the Danish government.
		In the 1970's many Greenlanders began objecting to Denmark's control over their affairs and in 1979 Denmark granted Greenland internal self government which established a new provincial government that controls the internal affairs of the province.

	ABC News: Scientists: Greenland Glaciers Retreating (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Sea levels have swelled globally an estimated 4 inches to 8 inches during the past century due to melting glaciers and polar ice enough to cause some places to be awash at high tide or during severe storms.
		Melting of Greenland ice and calving of icebergs from glaciers is responsible for about 7 percent of the annual rise in global sea level.
		The rapid retreat of Greenland glaciers suggest that climate change is a factor, Hamilton said.

	Great Outdoor Provision Co. - Paddle : Paddling With “A Stick”… Greenland Paddles Re-discovered
		The Greenlanders then taught me an “effortless” roll that is a slow, smooth righting of the kayak that requires very little energy.
		The forward cocking blade is then moved aft with no flutter because of the angle.
		Most Greenland style paddlers spend as much time upside down in their kayak as they do right side up because they are having so much fun effortlessly sculling or rolling up their kayaks.

		Maligiaq's paddle shaft was held at approximately a 45-degree angle for normal cruising, higher than the paddles of the surrounding students and instructors.
		Note - this is the angle between the paddle shaft and the horizon, please don't confuse this shaft angle with the forward tilt of the blade discussed earlier.
		I queried Maligiaq directly about this angle and he insisted on the forward tilt of the blade and displayed this technique on both days when he demonstrated his stroke mechanics.

	TIME Fast Forward: Greenland Comes In from the Cold
		Greenland certainly isn't a place for the faint-hearted, or for die-hard vegetarians either.
		However, many in the country believe that once the cod return to Greenland's waters and oil revenues start flooding in, it will be only a matter of time before Greenlanders shrug off two centuries of Danish domination.
		Greenland could certainly do with any extra income because at present it faces a host of social ills common to many European cities but rare to a people used to fending for themselves.

	Kayak Rolling Cross Reference (C) Michael Daly 2002-2005
		In Greenland competition, you must hold the paddle tip pressed against your shoulder (above or beside your armpit), you are not allowed to actually clamp the end of the paddle under your armpit.
		Like the Standard Greenland Roll 1, except the paddle is held in the crook of the inboard elbow instead of the hand.
		The conventional C-C starts with a forward setup and the sweep is used solely to position the paddle for a brace.

		As they continue during the next several years, scientists will gain a clearer picture of whether Greenland is truly losing ice or whether the measurements reported in 2000 just happened to catch the ice sheet when it was losing more ice than it was gaining.
		Sorting out how much of the change in the elevations of different parts of the Greenland ice cap comes from melting or growing ice and how much comes from all of Greenland "bobbing up and down" is difficult, Ledbetter says.
		NASA is continuing its measurements from airplanes, and scientists are looking forward to the launch of ICESat (Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite) in December 2001 to provide even more data on the Greenland and Antarctic ice caps.

		On one hand, I loved Greenland style paddling and was looking forward to meeting fellow rollaholics (especially Cheri) but on the other hand, I still considered myself a whitewater kayaker and was a bit afraid of drinking the Greenland Kool-Aid so to speak.
		The body motion involved in forward finishing was different from the layback variety and it felt like I was learning to roll for the very first time.
		Nevertheless, I learned the behind the head forward finishing roll as well as the behind the back forward finishing roll which has to be the most contorted and painful of all rolls.

	Seismic Forward Modelling of Upper Carboniferous — Lower Permian carbonate buildups, North Greenland and the Barents ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		In the upper Paleozoic of the Arctic, there is a discrepancy between the 4th- and 5th-order 5-10 m stacking and organisation of carbonate buildups seen at outcrop and the 50-100 m ‘3rd-order’ sequence stratigraphic organisation of the buildups seen in exploration seismic data.
		Previous attempts to make seismic models of these systems were limited by the inability of the forward modelling software to properly reflect the complex internal stacking patterns, rapid changes in lithology and diagenesis within the buildups, and to realistically distribute rock properties.
		The use of seismic forward Compound Modelling software, developed by Norsk Hydro Research Centre, Bergen has helped to make more realistic models based on outcrop from which the seismic response of the buildups is better realized.
