Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

A three-kilometre-long cylinder of ice sheds light on what the climate was like one hundred thousand years ago. The ice contains traces of periods of higher or lower temperatures on Earth, but also of whether there were violent volcanic eruptions and high solar activity. By understanding the climate of the past, researchers can develop better models to predict the climate of the future. There are

Hjärt- och kärlsjukdom är fortfarande vanligaste dödsorsaken efter långvarig typ 1-diabetes men under de senaste decennierna har risken avsevärt minskat, enligt en stor finsk undersökning. Under ungefär samma period visar en stor internationell studie att en vanlig riskfaktor för hjärtsjukdom har blivit betydligt vanligare. Under de senaste 30 åren har antalet för högt blodtryck blivit dubbelt så
