A new project will digitize environmental measurements of chemicals and nutrients in real time. This makes it possible to limit environmental disasters, for example when pesticides are released from a factory.

Airborne DNA falls to the earth's surface, where it blends with existing DNA deposits from the area's animals and plants. New research emphasizes the need for ongoing control and separation of airborne DNA when collecting environmental DNA samples. Furthermore, the discovery calls for new methods for nature monitoring.

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Ugo Marzocchi who received a grant of DKK 2 Mio. to investigate the influence of electric fields on the movement of ions in aquatic sediments.

In August, we invited for two days with a broad focus on the career opportunities for biologists. Recently graduated students and students who are one step away of graduation participated.

The Thai Office of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation has just awarded a prestigious award to Professor Henrik Balslev for his years…

Congratulations to postdocs Andrew Abraham and Julia Otte. They each received EU funding for their research projects.

In a new global study of more than 46,000 species of trees, an international team of researchers has shown that many tree species are under substantial pressure and poorly protected. The research team, headed by Aarhus University, has also studied how this situation can be improved by means of ambitious and smart designation of new protected natural areas.

Warmer temperatures, increased globalisation and more people are putting pressure on Earth's biodiversity and ecosystems. This means that many of the planet's species are threatened by extinction, and ecosystems are at risk of collapsing. Future generations will also experience extreme climate change and living conditions. A new centre at Aarhus University will now prevent things from going that badly.
