Where wheat, barley and rye grew before the first farmers found them
Archaeology Using advanced machine-learning and climate models, researchers have shown that the ancestors of crops like wheat, barley, and rye probably were much less widespread in the Middle East 12,000 years ago than previously believed. This challenges traditional assumptions about the geography of early plant domestication and agriculture.
New knowledge about Northern Europe's radiator: Volcanic eruptions in the past may have pushed ocean currents towards collapse
Climate New research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that volcanic eruptions during the Ice Age may have triggered sudden climate change by disrupting the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), causing temperatures to fluctuate between hot and cold for thousands of years. The study contributes missing pieces to our understanding of what could cause Northern Europe's radiator to shut down.
Past intensive whaling threatens the future of bowhead whales
DNA Commercial whaling has left the bowhead whale vulnerable for many generations to come.
Wetlands do not need to be flooded to provide the greatest climate benefit
Wetlands Contrary to expectations, wetlands do not need to be completely flooded to provide the greatest climate benefit. Instead, the water table should be below the soil surface and remain stable, according to a new study from the University of Copenhagen. The greenhouse gas methane and microorganisms in the soil are "a game changer".
