The oldest ice on Earth may be able to solve the puzzle of the planet’s climate history ... Using a detailed analysis of these ice cores, the University of Bern was able to reconstruct the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere over the past 800,000 years – a world record. ... An analysis of the gases trapped in the oldest ice on Earth may be able to solve this problem.

With new methods of reconstruction, climate researchers in Bern have been able to demonstrate that some 9,000 to 5,000 years ago, the Mediterranean climate was considerably warmer than previous studies had suggested. ... Further researchers at Bern were then able to show that the climate conditions in the Apennines are representative for a large part of the northern Mediterranean region.

The findings show that geckos are able to communicate socially, meaning that they are more intelligent than was previously assumed. ... In an experiment, the team was also able to show that geckos detect and use the odors of their feces to distinguish themselves from others.

Now these researchers have also been able to detect traces of vaporized sodium, magnesium, chromium, and the rare-Earth metals scandium and yttrium. ... "The team also advanced their interpretation of this data, and were able to use these signals to estimate at what altitude in the planet’s atmosphere these atoms are absorbing", says Jens Hoeijmakers.

This is what researchers from the Oeschger Centre for Climate Research at the University of Bern are now able to prove. ... If we are able to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, heatwaves will occur once every decade or century.

The negative impact of artificial light at night on nocturnal pollinators might even propagate further to the diurnal community, as ecologists of the University of Bern were able to show.

With 3D computer simulations Martin Jutzi, astrophysicist at the University of Bern, was able to reconstruct the formation of these features as a result of gentle collisions and mergers.
