Genom avancerade sedimentanalyser har ett forskarlag kartlagt europeiska klimatvariationer under de senaste 60 000 åren. Forskarna kan bland annat slå fast att det förekommit oförklarliga klimatsvängningar som varat mellan 20 och 150 år. I studien som publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Nature Geoscience kan forskarna presentera helt nya uppgifter om Europas historiska klimat. Tack vare sed

Genom analyser av borrkärnor från Grönland och Antarktis har ett forskarlag lett från Lunds universitet hittat spår av en extrem solstorm som inträffade för cirka 9 200 år sedan. Det som förbryllar forskarna är att stormen ägde rum under en av solens mer passiva faser, då man tidigare trott att jorden var mindre exponerad för sådana händelser. Solen är en förutsättning för allt liv på jorden. Men

Europeiska forskningsrådet (ERC) är en viktig forskningsfinansiär i Europa som finansierar forskare med projekt som har potential att vara banbrytande inom alla vetenskapsområden. Som huvudansvarig för ett projekt har professor Martin Englund vid Lunds universitet haft förmånen att få sådan finansiering för en 5-årsperiod för ett projekt inom området artros. Meniskerna i knäet är två kilformade br

Around the world, coastal communities are exposed to the impacts of climate change, for example sea level rise and coastal erosion. But local governments are often politically and economically constrained in their abilities to implement timely and needed adaptation measures. These constraints can restrict adaptation options to practices that are too little and too late, or even result in measures

That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study from Lund University. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline developed to promote both human health

Covid-19 and the subsequent closure of universities around the world have meant that we all quickly had to learn how to teach remotely. Educators all over the world have gathered experiences and evaluated them, and talk about the present as a "new normal" where both teachers and students expect universities to take advantage of knowledge and skills acquired during the pandemic.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Migration is a talking point everywhere – in politics, in the media, and not least in academia. It is often presented as problematic and demanding on resources, seldom as something which contributes to economic, cultural, and indeed intellectual development. But without migrants where would academia be exactly? That’s

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d
