Wildfires: When nature strikes back politically

With support from the Independent Research Fund Denmark, anthropologists will investigate how the extensive rainforest wildfires in 2019 in Amazon politically affected Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru.

Telling actual time in ancient rocks

In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the University of Copenhagen apply a new technique allowing them to disentangle 500 million-years-old rocks millimeter-by-millimeter, resolving the…
