Forskningsprojekt från 2014-01-01 till 2017-12-31

This project aims at investigating plant dynamics and forest development in the past (the last 130 000 years) and using this information to assist scientists modelling geographical range shifts in response ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2018-01-01 till 2021-12-31

Atmospheric rivers are long narrow bands of large integrated water vapor transport in the troposphere. At land fall they are usually associated with extreme conditions in terms of wind and precipitation ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2020-01-01 till 2023-12-31

The rich archaeological and paleoenvironmental records from the Peloponnese peninsula (Greece) are investigated to provide an integrated understanding of the role of climate and climate change for Bronze ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2015-01-01 till 2018-12-31

Landscapes are multifaceted archives combining natural forming processes with cultural practises and land use strategies of past generations. The aim of the project is to explore the rich archives of the ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2016-01-01 till 2019-12-31

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a period of global warming some 55 Ma, was triggered by multiple injections of isotopically light carbon into the atmosphere. Methane venting due to magma intrusion ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2019-01-01 till 2021-12-31

India’s agriculture, economy, water resources and societal well-being heavily rely on the Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR). But ISMR is strongly influenced by the El-Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2012-01-01 till 2014-12-31

Current global warming, associated with the rapid release of CO2 by burning of fossil fuels, impacts ecosystems both on land and in the ocean, most notably in polar regions. Marine phytoplankton play a ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2019-01-01 till 2021-12-31

Extreme weather events, floods and droughts—problems that are likely to become more frequent and extreme due to climate change— inflict major losses and disproportionally affect lower income countries, ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2015-01-01 till 2018-12-31

There are several forms of uncertainties in the predictive modeling of glacial mass balance. One of these uncertainties is to what degree melt water will refreeze, advect latent heat into, and stay as ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2016-12-31

Ocean surface waves are important for a number of reasons; they need to be well modelled for shipping and wave energy, coastal management, but they also influence mass flux (aerosols and gases) and are ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2012-01-01 till 2016-12-31

About 70% of the Earth?s surface is covered by oceans, but still knowledge about many aspects of air-sea interaction is lacking. Processes over sea is crucial in a number of application ranging from weather ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2015-12-31

Estimation of world water resources under a changing climate is a key scientific issue for many environmental research areas with profound socio-economic significance. A new purely data-based scale-extrapolation ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2020-12-01 till 2024-11-30

The main goal of this project is to provide a mechanistic understanding of lake ice property changes in a warmer world and to predict and forecast effects on nature and society. A few studies are available ...
