FORA.tv Speaker - Dorthe Dahl-Jensen

Dorthe Dahl-Jensen is professor of ice physics at The Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. She is head of the Centre for Ice and Climate, where researchers focus on ice core data as the key to understanding the climate of the past, present and future. She also manages Danish International Polar Year's ice core drilling programme NEEM (North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling) on the Greenland ice sheet, a programme involving researchers from 14 nations. Dorthe Dahl-Jensen's research concerns reconstructing climate on the basis of ice core data and developing ice flow models with special focus on the development of the ice cap during previous warm climate periods.
