New research from Aarhus University show the need for an international effort to limit global pollution by PFAS. The substance inhibits the immune system and can, thus, increase the risk of infections and cancer, and PFAS can reduce the effect of vaccination programmes against e.g. tetanus,…
In the future, the Centre for Green Transition and Marine Ecology will collect all the knowledge researchers have on the marine environment and biodiversity. The centre will advise decision-makers at a time when many new offshore wind turbines are being built.

At Findplanten.dk we help you find plant species that have many fauna interactions and, thus, are good for biodiversity. Plants are a good starting point, as they constitute a rich resource and can provide food and habitats for animals.
How can we manage a sustainable production of fossil-free offshore wind power, and mussels and seaweed in the same marine area? And what are the effects on the marine environment and on biodiversity? This will be elucidated in a new collaboration between Danish universities and private companies.
It has never been easier to find relevant teaching materials about the ocean than it is now. Through a fruitful collaboration with AU IT, the project 'The Head in the Ocean' has developed a new website, where students and teachers at educational institutions easily can navigate through all the…
Modern DNA technology now allows simple monitoring of the distribution of different fish species in remote Arctic areas. This is shown in a new research study just published in the journal “Diversity and Distribution”. The results open up major new perspectives for relatively easy tracking of…
Senior Researcher Dominik Zak from the Department of Ecoscience has as one of two from Aarhus University received DKK 2.8 million his green research project. This was confirmed when Independent Research Fund Denmark (IRFD) announced new grants for 37 green research ideas.
Niels Kanstrup wants to steer hunting and wildlife management towards a sustainable, lead-free future. A 35-year career as an advisor, researcher and active hunter, and a lifelong passion for nature, recently culminated in his defence of his doctoral dissertation at the Department of Ecoscience at…
