Boreal peatlands store large amounts of carbon, but warmer and drier conditions caused by climate change may turn these ecosystems into carbon sources. Equipped with drones and thermal cameras Julia Kelly, who recently received her doctorate at the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC), has studied what factors affect the CO2 fluxes in peatland ecosystems. Boreal forests and peatlands

Two Lund University climate scientists, Kimberly Nicholas, who has acted as an observer at two global climate summits, and Markku Rummukainen, Sweden’s IPCC representative, talk about what comes next following the recent IPCC report. What do you view as the next steps following what was concluded in the IPCC report? Kimberly: Something the report makes absolutely clear is that to stop warming, hum

Climate change and biodiversity losses have long been addressed in parallel organisations. Now the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are launching the first global report that integrates the two issues. This is a welcome and much needed move, according to three researchers at the Univ

At this ClimBEco summer meeting, mostly held online but with parallel in-person workshops in Gothenburg, Lund and Malmö, was themed around one of humanities ultimate equalizers; that of food. The way we produce, move and use food globally has important implications on just about every challenge we currently face in the world, reflected in the overall title of the summer meeting. To start off the e

Primitive stoves and diesel engines produce soot particles, besides being bad for your health, have a negative effect on the climate. By affecting the atmosphere’s ability to form cloud droplets and ice particles, soot can dislodge the radiation balance. This according to doctoral student John Falk, who is currently working on his dissertation about cloud droplet and ice particle formation in clou

The Polar regions play a crucial role in balancing global climate – with the poles heating up much faster than the rest of the world. Yet, climate projections for the Polar regions still have significant uncertainties. This is hampering efforts to curb climate change and deal with the effects we already see at play not only within the Polar regions, but also in Europe and the rest of the world. Po
