The EU-funded POLARIN project in which DTU Aqua takes part will deliver cross-border, virtual and remote access to 64 polar research infrastructures and promote interdisciplinary research that addresses the scientific challenges in both polar regions.
Warmer, less salty and more nutrient-rich water closer to the surface in the water off North East Greenland puts pressure on the ecosystem. The Arctic Ocean faces huge changes.
COP26 in Glasgow ended this weekend after two weeks of climate action in the negotiating rooms, in the media and in the streets. See some contributions to the climate debate from DTU Aqua's marine scientists.
The UN has declared the 2020s a ‘Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development’. Why is this necessary and what important knowledge do we lack about the ocean? Colin Stedmon provides the answer. He is a Professor at DTU Aqua and head of the Danish Center for Marine Research.
In autumn 2020, government funding for a new ocean-going research ship finally fell into place. This will replace Dana IV, Denmark’s only marine research ship that can sail in the Arctic region.
Colin Stedmon is appointed professor at DTU in the chemical composition of the oceans.
Colin Stedmon is awarded the Statoil Prize 2018 for his internationally recognized research into the chemical composition of the ocean
DTU is part of a new Arctic Research Icebreaker Consortium, which will provide researchers with improved access to investigate the Arctic
Over the next five years, researchers from the Nordic Five Tech alliance will be studying the impact of thawing permafrost on coastal communities in the Arctic.
Coastal waters are among the most productive and biogeochemically active systems on Earth, and provide important ecosystem services in terms of biological productivity and the assimilation of terrestrial inputs.
Massive amounts of organic carbon are floating around in the oceans. The carbon can persist for thousands of years, most likely because it is so dilute that the bacteria do not gain anything from taking it up.
Vast amounts of carbon are stored in the ocean interior as dissolved organic matter. Bacteria and their extracellular enzymes are key for understanding the persistence and biological degradation of dissolved organic matter.
18 European master-and ph.d.-students were selected among 195 applicants to get hands on experience with ocean research at sea. The course will take place during a five day research cruise from Tromsø, Norway to Hirtshals, Denmark.
DTU's research vessel Dana is following in the path of past pioneers when steaming off to characterize and trace the waters of the East Greenland Current
