The international research project is led by researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute and the very important results are published in the scientific journal Nature.
The new results from the NEEM ice core drilling project in northwest Greenland led by the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen show that the climate in Greenland was around 8 degrees C warmer than today during the last interglacial
which indicates that the contribution from the Greenland ice sheet was less than half the total sea-level rise during that period says Dorthe Dahl-Jensen Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute University of Copenhagen and leader of the NEEM-project.
or NEEM led by the Niels Bohr Institute is an international project with participants from 14 countries.
The new findings show higher temperatures in northern Greenland during the Eemian than current climate models have estimated says Professor Dorthe Dahl-Jensen Niels Bohr Institute.
