Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A warmer global climate can cause mutations to have more severe consequences for the health of organisms through their detrimental effect on protein function. This may have major repercussions for an organisms’ ability to adapt to, and survive in, the altered habitats of the future. This is shown in a new research stu

How did we end up here? What do we do to get out of it? In climate research, it is important to understand how the world works if we are to change our behaviour and prevent future catastrophes. Researchers use mathematical formulas to try and visualise reality, in order to find out what changes we need to make. “We build models in an attempt to represent nature’s behaviour using mathematical equat
