Current research projects at PICE

ASP is an extensive international research collaboration, bringing together the world's leading Arctic scientists

The aim of the project is to retrieve a continuous ice core to bedrock in Antarctica and use this to derive first high-resolution climate records over the time interval older than 700 kyr. UCPH is one of twelve project partners.

The award will support a joined project investigating how the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has changed over the past 10,000 years.

This project aims at developing a robust general theory of Tipping Points and Early Warning Signs for non-equilibrium systems, so that more accurate assessments of risks of severe climate change are included in climate policy decisions.<

Main aim to bridge students from European and Neighbourhood East universities and to engage them with climate competences e.g., ideas of adaptation and mitigation to climate change and the green agenda together with interdisciplinary/ green/ soft skills.

We use geological XRF core scanning data and advanced inverse methods to significantly refine the geological timescale by tuning high-resolution cyclic signals in the sedimentary record to astronomically driven Milankovitch insolation cycles.

The EU-funded CriticalEarth project will train 15 early-stage researchers on new methods to advance our understanding of tipping points and assess connections between tipping elements in the climate.

The goal of DEEPICE network (2021-2025) is to build a training program benefiting from the momentum created by the BEOI drilling project and applied science questions in preparation of the Oldest Ice analysis.

The East Greenland Ice-core Project - EastGRIP - is an international ice core research project aimed at retrieving an ice core by drilling through the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS).

The project's goal is to promote widespread utilization of geothermal resources in East Africa. Access to renewable, green, cheap and reliable energy (electricity and heating/cooling) in Africa is crucial to support the sustainable growth and decarbonization of the economy.

The purpose of the Greenland Integrated Observing System (GIOS) is to resolve and understand the mechanisms behind climate and environmental change in Greenland and beyond.

The overall objective of the project is to enhance our understanding of key processes of the terrestrial biosphere - freshwater - ocean continuum in surface-atmosphere GHG exchange, the connection between them, and the impacts from human pressures.

The aim of the project is to understand how the melt of the Greenland Ice Sheet over the last 2000 yrs affects the Danish weather system.

Green2Ice will investigate the deepest and oldest ice and basal sediments drilled from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). Ice cores have been drilled the last 55 years, but the deepest ice containing basal materials has been preserved until now, and still holds undeciphered paleoclimatic messages. The breakthrough of Green2Ice is to develop and apply cutting edge dating methods on this unique sample collection and hence to reconstruct the age and the stability of the GrIS

The main scope of this project is understanding the dynamics and interactions of the high latitude sea ice in the Holocene and how it relates to climate.

A project with the overall aim to investigate how ice flows and ice streams influence the evolution of the Greenland ice sheet.

In Greenlandic Isaaffik means ’portal’. It’s an Artic web portal that promotes Artic research and collaboration between polar researchers and institutions.

In Iso-DeepIce we will develop completely new laser ablation techniques for use on ice cores, so we can get climate measurements of water isotopes with unprecedented high resolution and precision.

The aim of the project is to design, develop, build and run a sustainable Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning system to create a consistent near surface air temperature data set with verified uncertainty information covering all of Greenland from 1873 to present.

This project explores how wind potentially will change in regards to climate change. This can have severe consequences for constructions and the build environment. The project combines knowledge from climatology, engineering and urban planning.

Next Generation Earth Modelling Systems will develop a new generation of Storm-Resolving Earth System Models to study climate variability. The aim is to understand the fine-scale air-sea interactions in the tropics for simulating and predicting climate.

The project will test a fundamental and unsolved problem in glaciology: why do fast-flowing ice flows occur in ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica, and how stable are they?

Understanding Bone Microphysics through Computational Morphology of SRuCT

The goal is to build reservoir models spanning heterogeneities from millimeters to hundreds of meters, thereby providing a link between structural and depositional elements of widely different scales.

PRECISE aims at reducing the uncertainty in the model projections so that the models can more accurately predict whether sea levels in the world’s oceans will rise by 30 centimeters or more than 100 centimeters by 2100.

The project, which is funded by the Danish Meteorological Institute and the Innovation Fund Denmark, aims at developing robust and computationally efficient methods for solving a variety of problems within the field of atmospheric dispersion modelling.

The aim of this project is to investigate and describe how a risk analysis system based on a consistent, probabilistic approach to geostatistical inversion and flow data analysis can be developed.

We wish to establish a lightweight and mobile unit for drilling ice cores with an intermediate depth of up to 1,000 m and for logging existing and remote boreholes. The funding from Carlsbergfondet will be used to build the winch.
