Why does CO2 inhibit photosynthetic microbes? Photosynthetic organisms usually struggle to get enough CO2 for photosynthesis, but too much CO2 appears to choke the organisms for unknown reasons that we wish to explore
Willingness-to-pay for reduced carbon footprint and other sustainability concerns relating to pork production In this 2022 questionnaire-based study, we investigated willingness-to-pay for more sustainable pork among consumers in Denmark, Germany, the UK and Shanghai, China.
Two Former CPR Post-Docs Awarded Prestigious ERC Starting Grants ERC Starting Grants are awarded each year to exceptional early-career scientists. In 2023 there are two former CPR post-docs on the list.
Rasmus Damgaard Nielsen Title: Massively parallel simulation of dusty protostellar systems Supervisors: Troels Haugbølle, Åke Nordlund
Six of nine planetary boundaries exceeded New study led by Professor Katherine Richardson updates the Planetary Boundary framework and shows human activities are increasingly impacting the planet.
Six of nine planetary boundaries now exceeded New study led by Professor Katherine Richardson updates the Planetary Boundary framework and shows human activities are increasingly impacting the planet.
Disguised as tree bark and another species: Newly discovered gecko is a master of disguise An international team of scientific researchers, among them a University of Copenhagen herpetologist, has discovered a new gecko species in Madagascar that resembles tree bark during the day and had been mistaken for a…
Flood adaptation in Glefe New Master Thesis explores explores adaptation strategies, challenges, and possibilities for future development
Methods diversity in social data science On the 13th of September 2023, Kristoffer Albris gave a presentation about Methods Diversity in Social Data Science to a group of data scientists at the danish company LEGO. The talk included a number of examples of…
test news Galakser der skygger for lyset Hvis en galakse tilfældigvis ligger langs sigtelinjen mod en fjernere, klar lyskilde, vil galaksen “skygge” for lyskilden og absorbere noget af dens lys. Denne absorption skyldes de gas- o…
Scientists warn: The Earth's 'blood pressure' is too high A new study updates the planetary boundary framework and shows human activities are increasingly impacting the planet and, thereby, increasing the risk of triggering dramatic changes in overall Earth conditions.
A galaxy group in the early Universe Contrary to typical observations, the galaxy was discovered not by the light it emits, but by the light it absorbs. The galaxy itself evades observations, but has at least one nearby companion.
Scientific language cannot be tested solely with pen and paper Science is not merely a collection of terms and formulas but a practice. Assessing children's knowledge of science through pen-and-paper tests only evaluates a limited portion of what they know, says researcher.
Nature draws the hunters out and the leases up The possibility of shooting game is neither what primarily drives hunters out nor the hunting lease price up. The biggest factors, on the other hand, are associated with outdoor recreation, camaraderie and location,…
Three new projects for CILG researchers at the Crown Princess Mary Centre Five new projects have been selected this year by the Crown Princess Mary Centre. CILG researchers are part of three out of five of these projects.
Dan Friis Tømmerby Jensen Title: Numerically Modelling of the Seismic Responses from Fractures Inserted into a Caprock Supervisor: Klaus Mosegaard
Green versus Green: Can wind turbines and nature interests go hand in hand? A new project at the Department of Anthropology will investigate how different interests can come together in the development of energy parks.
Researchers discover how to turn bitter lupins sweet Lupin seeds are high in protein and could become a sustainable alternative to imported soybeans, but many varieties contain alkaloids that make them toxic and bitter. Now researchers from University of Copenhagen have…
Veronika Kaminski Title: Hot Atomic Ensemble for Quantum Enhanced Sensing with Increased Atomic Polarization Supervisor: Eugene S. Polzik
Alejandro Maza Villalpando Title: Machine Learning Methods for Predicting Stellar Parameters in Realistic Molecular Cloud Environments Supervisor: Troels Haugbølle
Extreme climate conditions in the tropical Pacific for over 200 years A wave of extreme weather washes over the world. Not long ago we had similar extreme climatic conditions for over 200 years, a new study indicates. This insight may help us prepare us for the global warming under way.
Inheritance of information in proteins guard cell identify and stem cell function Does the inheritance of factors other than our genes influence the proper functioning of cells during our lifespan? New research published in Nature Genetics demonstrate that this is the case.
