Researchers from Aarhus University and DTU have investigated the sources of plastic pollution in the sea around Greenland. They found massive amounts of waste in the wastewater in Greenland, and the result showed that the wastewater is a source of both macro and microplastics in the Arctic marine…

A new study from Aarhus University shows that disturbances of the seabed from trawling equipment and dredging can lead to a series of negative consequences for both the marine environment and the global ecosystem.

I den vestjyske kommune er forskere gået sammen med kommunen og staten om at forvalte naturen på en ny og lovende måde.

It is well documented that the Arctic is warming at a rate 3-4 times above the global average, that sea ice is melting, glaciers retreat and permafrost thaws. But what happens when these changes are combined? This is the reality for Arctic coastal ecosystems and new research published in Limnology &…

Viruses infect everything from bacteria to plants and animals, and therefore play a huge role in the Earth's biodiversity and its ability to recycle nutrients. However, this fact has not yet been properly highlighted, say researchers from Aarhus University, who have led an international research…

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.
