Är du intresserad i vår forskning? Läs om vår studie som visar att dysreglering av endogena retrovirus under hjärnans utveckling kan leda till både inflammation i hjärnan och genuttrycksmönster som är förbundna med olika neurologiska sjukdomar senare i livet. För att läsa hela artikeln, klicka här.

Read about our research on a previously overlooked part of our DNA, so-called non-coded DNA. Our DNA is very similar to that of the chimpanzee, which in evolutionary terms is our closest living relative. Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now found a previously overlooked part of our DNA, so-called non-coded DNA, that appears to contribute to a difference which, despite all ou

Läs här om vår forskning om en tidigare förbisedd del i vårt DNA, så kallat icke-kodat DNA. Vårt DNA är mycket likt schimpansens, som evolutionärt är vår närmaste levande släkting. Nu har stamcellsforskare i Lund hittat en tidigare förbisedd del i vårt DNA, så kallat icke-kodat DNA, som tycks bidra till en skillnad som trots alla våra likheter kan förklara varför våra hjärnor fungerar olika.

How can artificial intelligence help us better predict the future of our planet? That was the central question when researchers from across Europe gathered at Lund University earlier this summer for the second full consortium meeting of AI4PEX—a four-year Horizon Europe research project focused on improving Earth System Models (ESMs) using the latest AI methods. Organised by the Max Planck Institu
Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere vary naturally between ice ages and interglacial periods. A new study by researchers and BECC and MERGE-members at the University of Gothenburg and Lund University, among others, shows that an unexpectedly large proportion of carbon dioxide emissions after the ice age may have come from thawing permafrost. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere vary natural

By combining satellite data, mathematical and statistical ecosystem modeling, and artificial intelligence, it is now possible to generate earlier and more reliable crop yield forecasts—an essential step toward ensuring future food security in a changing climate. This is demonstrated in a new doctoral thesis by Xueying Li, PhD at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, and membe

By analysing over 100,000 field measurements as well as environmental data, an international research team has created maps that show how and when naturally regrowing forests bind most carbon. To fulfil climate goals and avoid the most serious consequences of global heating, we need to both reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and remove carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere. Naturally

On 6-8 October, the MERGE autumn meeting of 2014 was held in Kalmar. The three interesting days focused on the future possibilities of research within MERGE and what is to come. For those of you who could not join the meeting - and those of you who would like to see a particularly interesting presentation again - we have collected the presentations from the meeting here. MERGE is now at the end of

During the past week, 350 delegates from 120 countries have gathered in Copenhagen, to go through and come to a common conclusion about the state of knowledge on climate change. The result was finalized as a synthesis report which states that the human influence on the climate system is clear and recent anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are the highest in history. But the report also sta

We would like to welcome Franziska Aemisegger, who will be a MERGE guest researcher for the coming two years. For the coming two years, Franziska Aemisegger will be a MERGE guest researcher with a Swiss National Science Foundation Fellowship (SNSF). In her current research she is studying land-atmosphere interactions in the midlatitude water cycle from a weather systems perspective. The different

Comparing the first simple climate models with those of today is like comparing a little blurry black and white line drawing with a large, high-resolution full-color photo. Everything has increased dramatically - both complexity, geographical resolution and model datasets.

Lund University has collected the top research of the university's twelve strategic reseach environments in a new book. MERGE is one of these environments. In 2008, the Swedish Government designated 20 ‘Strategic Research Areas’ (SRAs) in its research-policy bill. Within these 20 areas, 43 research environments were chosen for specific funding in a special evaluation in 2009. They were all conduct

Today, Monday 26 January, the new report "Klimatsäkrat Skåne" will be launched. The report is a knowledge review and analysis of Skåne's climate work including opportunities and challenges. The launch event focuses on three panel discussions on how we should make our society less vulnerable to climate change, how we use ecosystem services and the implications of climate change for business.

Tropical rainforests have long been considered the Earth’s lungs, sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thereby slowing down the increasing greenhouse effect and associated human-made climate change. Scientists in a global research project now show that the vast extensions of semi-arid landscapes occupying the transition zone between rainforest and desert dominate th
