När världens ledare samlas till klimattoppmöte i Azerbajdzjan den 11 november är det mot bakgrund av flera nya, dystra värmerekord. Så vad kan vi förvänta oss av COP29? Och hur står det till med klimatet? Vi frågade fyra forskare från Lunds universitet. FörhandlingarnaVärlden ska röra sig bort från fossila bränslen. Det var det historiska beslut som klubbades igenom under förra årets klimattoppmöt

In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López. Colombia's rainforest is part of the Amazon and i
Bioenergi spelar en viktig roll i omställningen till ett fossilfritt samhälle. Men den ”outnyttjade” jordbruksmark, så kallad marginalmark, som är lämplig för att odla bioenergi på i södra Sverige finns i praktiken inte, visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Marken är till stor del redan upptagen av exempelvis hästhållning. – Vår studie visar att potentialen för bioenergiproduktion på margina

Att gå är mer kognitivt krävande än man tidigare har trott. Och personer med lätt kognitiv funktionsnedsättning har svårare att gå än förväntat. Det är några av resultaten i Magnus Lindh-Rengifos avhandling om gång hos personer med neurodegenerativa sjukdomar. Han försvarar sin avhandling den 16 december på HSC, Health Sciences Centre, i Lund. Berätta om din forskning! Gångförmåga ses ofta som en
Arkeologen Greer Jarrett har seglat som en viking under tre års tid. Nu kan han visa att vikingarna seglade längre bort från Skandinavien, och tog rutter längre ut från land, än man tidigare trott var möjligt. I sin senaste studie har han hittat spår av ett decentraliserat nätverk av hamnar, belägna på öar och halvöar, som troligen spelade en central roll för vikingatidens handel och resor. Men Gr

Most African countries contribute only marginally to the increase of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere. Nevertheless, Africa is the continent most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The impact varies across the continent and also within individual countries. An improved set of data increases the possibilities for evaluating future risks, and how to best address

Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.” Her research is about understanding how nanoparticles are generated and releas

After a long economic crisis, Lebanon is on the brink of ruin. The currency has lost much in value and people's savings have been eaten up. The crisis in the country is also taking place at the political and social level. Despite this, the corrupt elite continues to rule the country, without being punished for their wrongdoings.

After 20 years of research on gene therapy and the rare blood disease, Diamond-Blackfan Anemia, DBA, researcher Johan Flygare had reached a point where he and his colleagues had done everything they could in the lab. Even though they had proof of concept their gene therapy would work, engaging companies had been difficult. Then, in 2021, he received an e-mail. LONGREAD. The message came from Ameri

As a PhD student in the MaCoBios project, Fabiola Espinoza Córdova aims to explore how we can reframe adaptation to climate change in coastal communities towards more sustainable and just pathways. She believes that impacts on marine and coastal ecosystems linked to climate change are not only driven by global warming and human pressures, but are directly embedded in social changes.

Regeringens satsning på profilområden kritiseras. LUM har frågat samtliga dekaner vad de anser om satsningen. Många menar att den fria forskningen hotas. Det finns också oro för att annan forskning ska drabbas ekonomiskt. Farhågor finns även för att mycket arbete nu läggs på något som kanske aldrig blir verklighet.

A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure. Previous research has shown that the majority
