Pay dirt for ice core scientists in East Greenland as they reach bedrock

An international research collaboration (EGRIP) headed by ice core scientists from the University of Copenhagen has attained their goal of drilling to the bottom of the ice sheet. It marks the first time that this has…

Gloomy climate calculation: Scientists predict a collapse of the Atlantic ocean current to happen mid-century

Important ocean current that redistribute heat, cold and precipitation between the tropics and the northernmost parts of the Atlantic region will shut down around the year 2060 if current greenhouse gas emissions…

More knowledge on the complexity of ice sheets will improve calculations of future sea-level rises

The Novo Nordisk Foundation has awarded nearly DKK 42 million to Professor Christine Schøtt Hvidberg for developing models for calculating how the ice sheets will contribute to future sea-level rises.
