International research team maps underwater noise in the Baltic Sea

The ocean is full of sounds. Breaking waves and surf provide an ever-present background noise, and the many seals, whales, fish and crustaceans communicating via sound contribute to create a complex acoustic environment, which has been termed the “soundcape”.

DCE and DCA workshop on greening agriculture

Modern agriculture has a huge influence on nature. The access to cheap nutrients, chemicals and effective machinery has dramatically changed European agriculture.

In the middle of the picture the Thy wolf is seen as a pup. The animals of prey of its fellows will be red deer and roe deer. To cover their dietary needs a population of approximately 100 wolves in Jutland needs ca. a tenth of today’s total Danish kill of the two deer species. Researchers say that despite the rich availability of prey, occasional wolf kill of domestic animals cannot be avoided. Photo: Sebastian Koerner ©: www.luposvision.de

Breeding wolwes in Jutland probable within 10 years

Already within the coming decade Denmark may have a breeding population of wolves that have wandered from Germany up through Jutland. The Jutland peninsula has suitable habitats to support ten family groups of wolves with an average number of eight members.

Aarhus University currently has a modest hut and air measurement facility at Station North. The major new grant now makes it possible to extend the facilities significantly.

Aarhus University builds research station in North Greenland

Researchers from Department of Environmental Science are now making a start on setting up an ultra-modern research station right up in the northernmost part of Greenland. Here they will study climate change and its impact on the air, sea, geology, fauna and flora in the High Arctic region. Project Manager Henrik Skov, Aarhus University, expects…

Seismic vessels operating in Greenland must have biological observers on board. This photo does not, however, show a seismic vessel, but the old ship “Adolf Jensen” belonging to the Greenland Nature Institute on a research expedition. Photo: Kasper Lambert Johansen.

Manual for biological observers on seismic vessels

On all seismic vessels operating in Greenland biological observers must be on board, partly to observe sea mammals in connection with the start-up and during seismic surveys (and in certain situations stop seismic activity), and partly to undertake systematic countings of seabirds and sea mammals to obtain density and distribution data to support…

Location of DCE - Danish Centre for Environment and Energy

Detailed map

Welcome to DCE

DCE - Danish Centre for Environment and Energy is the portal for authorities, businesses, interest organisations and the public to the strong expertise of Aarhus University within nature, environment and energy. Read more about DCE in this leaflet.

The DCE - Danish Centre for Environment and Energy provides consultancy services and knowledge of nature, environment and energy based on high quality research and thus contributes to sustainable development on local as well as global scale.

The DCE - Danish Centre for Environment and Energy has been reorganised from the former National Environmental Research Institute (NERI) which was closed on 30 June 2011. The research departments of the old NERI are now divided between the Department of Bioscience and the Department of Environmental Science.
