In the broad field of biology, our researchers study everything from small cells to large ecosystems. Research projects include the forces of evolution, unsung heroes of the soil, how animals navigate and seeking answers to the mystery of ageing. Animals with unique abilitiesHow do birds, insects and some other animal groups manage to keep a straight course over long distances? The fascinating abi

How are galaxies, stars and planets created in our gigantic universe? And what forces in the quantum world affect the smallest constituents of matter? Our researchers are contributing pieces of the puzzle and are also involved in the quest for knowledge about dark matter and new elements, as well as in development work at the MAX IV Laboratory. Stars and planets of the Milky WayIn astrophysics, ou

Our geology researchers study colliding continents and fossils that tell us about past worlds. We also reconstruct past environmental changes and study the Earth’s magnetic field. Other areas include the oxygen depletion of seabeds and sustainable management of natural resources. The research covers periods going back millions of years as well as today’s society. Rocks and fossils have a story to

Our physical geographers and ecosystem scientists use interdisciplinary approaches to investigate how climate and environmental change affect nature. These initiatives range from Sweden’s primeval forests and the Baltic estuaries to permafrost in the Arctic and community planning in developing countries.
