Rocks and ice with a total volume of 25 million cubic metres fell into the remote Dickson Fjord in Northeast Greenland in September last year. This created a 200-metre-high tsunami wave and caused tremors that could be measured around the globe. A large international research team has now…
Applying chaos theory to the movement of iconic arctic whales uncovered a 24-hour diving cycle and a long-range (~100 km) synchronization.
Gennem hele juni måned summer det ekstra meget af liv på Grønlands Naturinstitut i Nuuk. Syv velrenommerede forskere indenfor arktisk økologi øser af deres viden gennem et nyt kursus, der tilbydes universitetsstuderende fra hele verden.
If Danish seaweed production is scaled up, it can alleviate future crises in particular food shortage and the marine environment - if it happens under the right conditions.
The small whales spend more than 60 percent of their day hunting small fish to stay warm in the cold waters. New research shows that harbor porpoises spend little energy on this hunting strategy, but that it makes them vulnerable to human disturbance.
The world's kelp forests contribute to global carbon storage. A new international study, published in Nature Geoscience, estimates the extent of the kelp forests' contribution. See the article here.
Both Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin published their groundbreaking discoveries in the prestigious journal Philosophical Transactions of The Royal Society B. The Danish researcher has therefore joined a distinguished club of scientists.
Especially those who eat polar bears, seals, and whales have elevated levels of toxins in their blood, new research shows.
In order to keep the population of harbour porpoises in Danish coastal waters stable, only 24 can perish in fishing nets each year. However, over 900 die each year.
The polar oceans, critical regulators of the global climate system, are among the ecosystems most impacted by climate change.
