Exhaust gas is to blame: Ground-level ozone is damaging crops

Exhaust gas emissions have doubled the amount of ground-level ozone. Vegetation is being destroyed. Food production is decreasing. Researchers now fear that the damage is greatest in the Arctic regions.

Melting glaciers are causing sea levels to rise at ever greater rates

New: Land-based glaciers outside of the main ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland have lost more than 9,000 billion tons of ice since 1961, raising sea levels by 27 millimeters.

New time series of satellite images reveal glacier dynamics in detail

A new method is developed by researchers at UiO to combine heaps of satellite images to create a complete time series of glacier movement. Study recently published in The Cryosphere.
