"A lot of changes have already happened, and those changes will intensify for as long as we continue to pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.  The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is now at the highest point in at least the past 2 million years. The scale of warming is in direct proportion to accumulated emissions of carbon dioxide. The planet is already 1.1 degree warmer compared to the period 1850 to 1900, and this warming is two times greater in the northern hemisphere."

So says Guðfinna Aðalgeirsdóttir, professor of glaciology at the University of Iceland. She is one of the authors behind Chapter 9 of the United Nations climate report that has been discussed in the media and by specialists across the world since it was released earlier this year. The chapter to which Guðfinna contributed is entitled Ocean, cryosphere and sea level change.  

"We are now on equal footing with sports clubs and institutes worldwide, such as English premier league teams like Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea. NBA-teams are also using these tools, as is the English Institute of Sport," says Milos Petrovic, assistant professor at School of Education’s Faculty of Health Promotion, Sport and Leisure Studies. Milos has with his colleagues worked on developing a new Research centre for sport and health sciences at the University of Iceland stationed in Laugardalshöll. Milos knows what he is talking about having previously worked with the champions of both Europe and the UK; Manchester City and helped one of the best golfers in the world improve their swing. Milos is here discussing the possibilities of measurements in diverse sports in a new research centre, his life in Iceland, and the success of Serbia in sports.
