IIT Madras and Danfoss to collaborate to research in water and energy sectors
Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) is collaborating with Industry and Academia in Denmark for various research projects in areas of climate change mitigation and enabling green transition.
New knowledge about ice sheet movement can shed light on when sea levels will rise
The trawling of thousands of satellite measurements using artificial intelligence has shown researchers from the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland and University of Copenhagen that meltwater in tunnels beneath Greenland's ice sheet causes it to change speed, and in some places, accelerate greatly towards the ocean.
Lakes collapse and release meltwater during winter causing inland ice to speed up in Greenland
A team of international researchers has shown for the first time how 18 meltwater lakes in Greenland collapse during winter, which causes the edges of the ice to flow faster.

Soil and freshwater come under the spotlight in plastics-pollution fight
Growing awareness of microplastics in the ground and in freshwater highlights the need to tackle an environmental threat generally associated with oceans.
UN: Trapped sediment in dams ‘endangers’ water supplies
Trapped sediment has robbed roughly 50,000 large dams worldwide of an estimated 13% to 19% of their combined original storage capacity, and total losses will reach 23% to 28% by 2050, UN research warns.
