Historic Drilling Campaign Reaches more than 1.2-Million-Year-Old Ice

It is expected that the 2,800 meter deep ice core drilling down to the bedrock under the Antarctic ice sheet for the first time will reveal crucial details about the earth's climate and the history of the atmosphere mor…

AI finds formula on how to predict monster waves

Long considered myth, freakishly large rogue waves are very real and can split apart ships and even damage oil rigs. Using 700 years’ worth of wave data from more than a billion waves, scientists at the University of…

Copenhagen’s safest bets for a dry weather bike ride

You have a 25% greater risk of cycling in the rain if you live in Hellerup than if saddling up in Ishøj. Two researchers from the University of Copenhagen and DTU took a closer look at where and when it rains most in an…

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