For international til at blive dansker

AU-professor Eric Hillebrand troede, at det efter 13 år i Danmark som fastansat forsker ville være en formssag at få statsborgerskab. Men nej – han rejser for meget.

Earlier this year, I received news that fake peer reviews were allegedly being submitted impersonating me and approximately six others

I shared my story with Science to, hopefully, reduce the chance of this kind of breach happening again

Global Carbon Budget 2023

Despite record growth in clean energy, global fossil CO2 emissions are expected to grow 1.1% [0-2.1%] in 2023.

Strong policies are needed to ensure fossil fuels decline as clean energy grows!

Is the Earth's Energy Imbalance of the scales?

Does it mean 1.5°C is inevitable, or is it our actions that make 1.5°C inevitable?

A question for the hive mind that is driving me crazy: I vaguely remember a quote (was it by Kahane?) that mathematical models are devices to organize thinking and help asking the right, sharp questions (as opposed to accurate descriptions of reality). Anybody knows the quote?

Ten years ago, I published my first paper on statistical approaches in climate research, coming from economics and mathematics. It's been quite a journey since then, and I'm glad I made the decision to put my main focus on this
