The Arctic is one of the places on earth where vegetation is expected to change most significantly during the next hundred years in consequence of increasing temperatures. Among other changes, researchers expect more shrubs to appear on the Arctic tundra.

Associate professor Nicolaj Krog Larsen from Department of Geoscience and the Arctic Research Center has just been granted DKK 7.0 million from VILLUM FONDEN. The grant will be used for a large-scale research project investigating how the inland ice has reacted to natural climate variations in North-East Greenland during the past 10,000 years.
