Recent theories on the growth of continental crust stress its formation in pre-Archean and Archean times with minor additions at later times. The Earth has gone through a unidirectional evolution including surface changes, the genesis of life and an important loss of energy. The energy loss drives tectonic processes, but at a rate declining with available energy and thus with time. Semiquantitativ

Researchers and students from the University of Cambridge and Lund University met at this year’s sustainability conference with a shared goal: to develop new interdisciplinary knowledge and scale up the solutions that already exist to tackle the urgent crises of our time – from climate change and collapsing ecosystems to a transforming energy sector. ‘The problems are so complex that we must work

Denna rapport redogör över utvecklingsprocessen för ett silikonfritt, läckagetätt lock för matlådan IKEA 365+, för att undvika användandet av en silikonpackning som produkten gör idag. Drivkraften bakom projektet är att silikon är ett mycket energikrävande material att producera, samt är inte i stor skala återvinningsbart idag. Rapporten använder sig av en traditionell produktutvecklingsprocess sa

It is expected that, in the future, gas turbines will be operated on gaseous fuels currently unutilized. The ability to predict the range of feasible fuels, and the extent to which existing turbines must be modified to accommodate these fuels, rests on the nature of these fuels in the combustion environment. Understanding the combustion behavior is aided by investigation of syngases of similar com

Over the past decade carbon capture and storage (CCS) has attracted increasing international attention as a climate change mitigation option and moved into the center of climate policy debates and negotiations. This special issue of Global Environmental Change brings together leading scholars to analyze the politics, policy and regulation of CCS in cross-country comparisons as well as in a global

The MAX IV facility in Lund, Sweden consists of two storage rings for production of synchrotron radiation. The larger 3 GeV ring has been delivering light to the first users since November 2016, while the smaller 1.5 GeV ring is being commissioned. Coupled-Bunch Mode Instabilities (CBMIs) have been observed in both rings, and they have a degrading effect on the beam quality since they increase the

This paper presents the space-time distribution of terrestrial carbon fluxes for the period 1979-1999 generated by a terrestrial carbon cycle data assimilation system (CCDAS). CCDAS is based around the Biosphere Energy Transfer Hydrology model. We assimilate satellite observations of photosynthetically active radiation and atmospheric CO2 concentration observations in a two-step process. The contr

Ultrafast photoinduced electron transfer preceding energy equilibration still poses many experimental and conceptual challenges to the optimization of photoconversion since an atomic-scale description has so far been beyond reach. Here we combine femtosecond transient optical absorption spectroscopy with ultrafast X-ray emission spectroscopy and diffuse X-ray scattering at the SACLA facility to tr

This study comprehensively evaluated the global warming potential of an office building in a newly built Scandinavian neighbourhood seeking to reach sustainability. The primary objective of the research was to support the city authorities of Helsingborg by providing valuable insights into actual carbon emissions at the building level and proposing measures to minimize these emissions to achieve cl

Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural networks have gained popularity for applications such as keyword spotting, speech recognition and other artificial intelligence applications. Typically for most applications training and inference is performed on cloud servers, and the result are transferred to the power constrained device, e.g., an hearing instrument (HI). This approach has disadvantages such as

Faced with the increasing concern about the effect of greenhouse gases in global warming, Carbon Capture and Storage technologies are developed. Oxy-combustion is one of these techniques; it consists of separating the nitrogen from the air and using the O2 (diluted in CO2) as an oxidant so that the resulting flue gases are mainly composed by carbon dioxide and water vapour and the capture of CO2 c
