Mars has belts of glaciers consisting of frozen water

Mars has distinct polar ice caps, but Mars also has belts of glaciers at its central latitudes in both the southern and northern hemispheres. A thick layer of dust covers the glaciers, so they appear as surface of the…

The impact of near-inertial waves on the Arctic halocline

Rising sea levels of 1.8 meters in worst-case scenario

The climate is getting warmer, the ice sheets are melting and sea levels are rising – but how much? Now researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute and their colleagues have calculated the risk for a worst-case scenario.…

Peter Ditlevsen receives EU grant to research abrupt climate change

The EU has allocated four million Euros (29.7 million kroner) to an international network of researchers who will try to understand critical changes in complex dynamic systems in nature, in technology and in society

Inertial resonance in the ocean mixed layer

Past temperature in Greenland adjusted

During a period of several thousand years up until the last ice age ended approximately 12,000 years ago, the climate pattern in Greenland did not fit and this was a mystery to researchers. Now researchers from the Niel…

Congratulations to three PhD candidates

Congratulations to Helle Kjær who succesfully defended her PhD Thesis on August 25, 2014. Helle Kjær is our third Centre for Ice and Climate candidate to finish this year.
