Twenty thousand-year-old air bubbles have revealed that Antarctic temperatures during the last ice age were markedly different than what the leading science once suggested. This is according to new research in which the University of Copenhagen played a significant role. The result means that current global sea level rise predictions will most likely need to be revised.

Ancient air bubbles speak to a much warmer Antarctica during the ice-age than once believed

Alessandra Camplani and Stefania Xella from the Niels Bohr Institute (NBI) at the University of Copenhagen, have received a 4EU+ grant for Joint Educational Projects.

What happened in the first microsecond of the Big Bang?

Researchers the world over have long believed that 70 percent of the universe is composed of dark energy, a substance that makes it possible for the universe to expand at an ever-increasing rate. But in a new study, University of Copenhagen researchers tested a model which suggests that the universe’s expansion is due to a dark substance with a kind of magnetic force. Should the model stand, it means that dark energy simply doesn’t exist, according to the UCPH professor behind the study.
