Dust trapped deep in Antarctic ice sheets is helping scientists unravel details of past climate change. http://www.physorg.com/news157558498.html Space & Earth Sun, 29 Mar 2009 15:15:30 EST news157558498 (PhysOrg.com) -- New climate maps of the Earth`s surface during the height of the last Ice Age support predictions that northern Australia will become wetter and southern Australia drier due to climate change. http://www.physorg.com/news151612069.html Space & Earth Mon, 19 Jan 2009 18:28:21 EST news151612069 Will all of the ice on Greenland melt and flow out into the sea, bringing about a colossal rise in ocean levels on Earth, as the global temperature rises? The key concern is how stable the ice cap actually is and new Danish research from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen can now show the evolution of the ice sheet 11,700 years back in time - all the way back to the start of our current warm period. The results are published in the esteemed journal Nature. http://www.physorg.com/news172327825.html Space & Earth Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:20:08 EST news172327825 The origin of the 'Celtic fringe' of genetically and culturally distinctive people in the northern and western British Isles is the source of fierce academic controversy. http://www.physorg.com/news173513472.html Biology Wed, 30 Sep 2009 07:11:43 EST news173513472 New research, which reconstructs the extent of ice in the sea between Greenland and Svalbard from the 13th century to the present indicates that there has never been so little sea ice as there is now. The research results from the Niels Bohr Institute, among others, are published in the scientific journal, Climate Dynamics. http://www.physorg.com/news165668875.html Space & Earth Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:00:02 EST news165668875 (PhysOrg.com) -- Fossilised corals from tropical Tahiti show that the behaviour of ice sheets is much more volatile and dynamic than previously thought, a team led by Oxford University scientists has found. http://www.physorg.com/news159794635.html Space & Earth Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:26:16 EST news159794635 New research indicates that the ocean could rise in the next 100 years to a meter higher than the current sea level - which is three times higher than predictions from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC. The groundbreaking new results from an international collaboration between researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, England and Finland are published in the scientific journal Climate Dynamics. http://www.physorg.com/news150645386.html Space & Earth Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:56:26 EST news150645386 By controlling emissions of fossil fuels we may be able to greatly delay the start of the next ice age, new research from the Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen concludes. The results have been published in the scientific magazine, Geophysical Research Letters. http://www.physorg.com/news153556935.html Space & Earth Wed, 11 Feb 2009 06:45:00 EST news153556935 Remains of woolly mammoths have been found in southern Spain, proving that the chilly grip of the last Ice Age extended farther south than thought, palaeontologists said on Thursday. http://www.physorg.com/news166370061.html Other Sciences Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:30:01 EST news166370061 A newly published dissertation by Linda Ampel from the Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology at Stockholm University in Sweden examined how rapid climate changes during the most recent ice age affected ecosystems in an area in continental Europe. http://www.physorg.com/news155830602.html Biology Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:17:31 EST news155830602 New, extremely detailed data from investigations of ice cores from Greenland show that the climate shifted very suddenly and changed fundamentally during quite few years when the ice age ended. Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute of University of Copenhagen have together with an international team analysed the ice cores from the NorthGRIP drilling through the Greenland ice cap, and the epoch-making new results have been published in the highly esteemed scientific journal Science and in Science Express. http://www.physorg.com/news133108220.html Space & Earth Thu, 19 Jun 2008 15:30:20 EST news133108220 Geologists at the University of Leicester have shown that an ancient Ice Age, once regarded as a brief ‘blip`, in fact lasted for 30 million years. http://www.physorg.com/news164358670.html Space & Earth Tue, 16 Jun 2009 08:13:05 EST news164358670 Researchers have largely put to rest a long debate on the underlying mechanism that has caused periodic ice ages on Earth for the past 2.5 million years - they are ultimately linked to slight shifts in solar radiation caused by predictable changes in Earth's rotation and axis. http://www.physorg.com/news168791411.html Space & Earth Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:20:02 EST news168791411 Researchers spent two months this summer high in the Peruvian Andes and brought back two cores, the longest ever drilled from ice fields in the tropics. http://www.physorg.com/news176399362.html Space & Earth Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:00:24 EST news176399362 (PhysOrg.com) -- Despite a slight recovery in summer Arctic sea ice in 2009 from record-setting low years in 2007 and 2008, the sea ice extent remains significantly below previous years and remains on a trend leading toward ice-free Arctic summers, according to the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center. http://www.physorg.com/news174049524.html Space & Earth Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:10:05 EST news174049524
