On October 31st, representatives from across the globe will gather in Glasgow for two weeks to attend the UN climate change conference COP26. Expectations are high following last year's canceled conference, and the IPCC report released in August. As part of the Paris Agreement in 2015, it was decided that all nations would renew their climate pledges or national climate plans, so-called NDCs (Nati

In February, ClimBEco PhD students gathered for our annual winter meeting. For the second consecutive year – but hopefully for the last time – the meeting was held digitally due to pandemic restrictions, with a small lunch gathering at the conclusion. During this two-day event, participants presented their PhD research to each other in an interdisciplinary setting. They had the option of sharing e

Note: This PR was published by Lund University on 01/12/2023 Through analysis of high-resolution data from a ten-metre telescope in Hawaii, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in generating new knowledge about three stars at the very heart of the Milky Way. The stars proved to be unusually young with a puzzling chemical composition that surprised the researchers. The study, whi

With over 1300 visitors at the telescopes and in the planetarium, it is safe to say that Culture Night 2024 was a great success. Arranging astronomy events on Culture Night is always a bit difficult since we do not know in advance if the skies are going to be clear.  We had luck with us this year.  The weather was nice and sunny during the day and once the Sun set we could bring out the telescopes

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has discovered a small planet that displays peculiar orbital motion. The shimmying planet, located 455 light-years from Earth, shows that planetary systems can be considerably more complex than researchers have previously thought. The newly discovered planet TOI-1408c has a mass equivalent to eight Earths and circles very close to a larger planet, t

A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that

Den vanliga föreställningen att äldre generellt är teknikskeptiska utmanas i en ny avhandling. Tvärtom visar många äldre personer intresse, särskilt när tekniken upplevs som meningsfull, lätt att använda och relevant i vardagen. Men så väl yngre som äldre uttrycker oro för teknikens miljöpåverkan och kostnader. Det är inte åldern i sig som påverkar attityden till digital teknik, utan andra faktore

Hur mår äldre personer i Härnösand, Emmaboda, Säffle och Tibro – och hur är det att åldras i dessa kommuner? Det ska forskare från Lunds universitet och Umeå universitet ta reda på. I slutet av september skickas en enkät ut till tusentals kommuninvånare som är 65 år eller äldre. Härnösand är en av de kommuner som just nu satsar hårt på äldres hälsa och livskvalitet. Våren 2024 undertecknade Härnös
