Study delivers new knowledge about what causes thunderstorms and cloud bursts
(University of Copenhagen) Thunderstorms often provoke violent cloud bursts that can result in devastating flooding. But what actually spawns thunderstorms and cloud bursts? This question has spurred a new study by researchers at the University of Copenhagen — with surprising results.
‘New’ lactic acid bacteria can make African camel milk safe
A research project has come up with the formula for a freeze-dried starter culture that African camel milk farmers can use to make safe, fermented milk products.
U.S. Forest Fires Aren’t At Historic Highs—Not Even Close
California’s wildfires are a serious matter, but the official record of the United States shows forest fires in the US today are far below the annual average in the 1930s and 1940s. California wildfires have been in the news in…
Bjorn Lomborg: CA Fires Caused By Century Of Suppressing Controlled Burns
Ongoing forest fires in California are mostly a function of poor forest management, particularly insufficient controlled burns to clear away accumulated fuelwood, explained Bjorn Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center and author of , offering his remarks on Thursday’s edition…
World’s largest DNA sequencing of Viking skeletons reveals they weren’t all Scandinavian
Invaders, pirates, warriors – the history books taught us that Vikings were brutal predators who travelled by sea from Scandinavia to pillage and raid their way across Europe and beyond. Now cutting-edge DNA sequencing of more than 400 Viking skeletons from archaeological sites scattered across Europe and Greenland will rewrite the history books.

Proven: Historical climate changes occurred simultaneously in several parts of the world
(University of Copenhagen) A new study published by researchers from the University of Copenhagen and partner institutions has proven that repeated and abrupt climate changes during the last ice age occurred simultaneously in South America, Southeast Asia, Europe and Greenland. Abrupt climate change can be as problematic as gradual change and we should deal with the risks associated with abrupt scenarios, suggests a UCPH researcher.

Fuel cells for hydrogen vehicles are becoming longer lasting
An international research team has succeeded in developing an electrocatalyst for hydrogen fuel cells which, in contrast to the catalysts commonly used today, does not require a carbon carrier and is therefore much more stable. The new process is industrially applicable and can be used to further optimize fuel cell powered vehicles without CO2 emissions.
