Kerttu Maria Peensoo Title: Developing a Method for High Resolution Water Isotope Measurements in Ice Cores
Ice cap study promises new prospects for accurate local climate projections internationally Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute - University of Copenhagen gathered the data from the ice cap in 2015, and this work has now come to fruition in the form of more exact predictions of local climate conditions.
Abrupt ice age climate changes behaved like cascading dominoes Throughout the last ice age, the climate changed repeatedly and rapidly during so-called Dansgaard-Oeschger events, where Greenland temperatures rose between 5 and 16 degrees Celsius in decades.

Researchers discover intact plant fossils beneath Greenland’s ice sheet for the first time For the first time ever, researchers have found fossils under Greenland's ice sheet that are so large and well preserved that they can be seen with the naked eye. The fossils reveal several million years of details abou…
PICE Copenhagen joins large scale joint effort in the arctic within the Danish Commonwealth The Ministry of Higher Education and Science has awarded just below 37 million kr to a targeted effort to investigate the significance of climate change in the arctic environment.
Prominent professor named as Head of Scientific Research at Denmark’s National Centre for Climate Research Floods, cloudbursts, heatwaves; the climate of the future will be more extreme. On assuming the position of Head of Scientific Research at the National Centre for Climate Research at DMI on 1 March 2021, renowned…
Are we alone? UCPH researchers hold their breath ahead of Mars landing Traces of prehistoric life will be the ultimate goal as the NASA rover Perseverance lands on Mars tonight. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have contributed several important elements to the mission.
Sea level will rise faster than previously thought NBI researchers have constructed a new method of quantifying just how fast the sea will react to warming. The level of the sea is monitored meticulously, and we can compare the responsiveness in models with historical…
The Catcher in the Ice A new device used to extract gas trapped in ice cores by sublimation will shave hours off the time needed by previous versions of the technology. It will use a light source with a more suitable wavelength, which will…

The Niels Bohr Institute kick starts a new generation of climate scientists There is a pressing need for skilled climate scientists with excellent insight into advanced mathematical theories as well as the physics of the Earth system. A European scientist training programme, CriticalEarth,…
The Niels Bohr Institute develops calibration target, now on its way to Mars The calibration target has been developed and manufactured in a collaboration between the researchers, the workshop at the Niels Bohr Institute and local businesses, and supported by the Carlsberg Foundation.

The climate changed rapidly alongside sea ice decline in the north This scientific breakthrough concludes a long-lasting debate on the mechanisms causing abrupt climate change during the glacial period. It also documents that the cause of the swiftness and extent of sudden climate…
Grant for developing long term weather predictions in Denmark Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), received a grant from the Independent Research Fund Denmark to provide us with a much longer perspective on the general weather situation in Denmark.

Study delivers new knowledge about what causes thunderstorms and cloud bursts Thunderstorms often provoke violent cloud bursts that can result in devastating flooding. But what actually spawns thunderstorms and cloud bursts? This question has spurred a new study by researchers at the University o…
Knowledge about the past can preserve the biodiversity of tomorrow Climate change threatens plants and animals across the planet. Interdisciplinary research by, among others, climate and biodiversity researchers at the University of Copenhagen, has mapped responds of biodiversity cause…
