MaxPlanckResearch 4/2023: Below Zero

Extreme cold drove people out of large parts of Europe during the last ice age until it became warmer again. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology are tracing these migratory movements. Today, excessively high temperatures are more of a concern, partly because they are melting the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica, causing sea levels to rise. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology are analysing the interactions between climate and ice sheets. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics are investigating how stars and planets form in clouds of cold dust and gas. They are also learning about the conditions under which life can develop.
