Remember the ”beauty study”? It received a lot of attention in the autumn of 2022; was reported for flaws in the research method, but was later found not to have deviated from good research practice. Economist Adrian Mehic had not even defended his doctoral thesis yet, but had an article from his forthcoming thesis published in a scientific journal.”I could imagine that it would create a lot of bu

Climate research in the Arctic is being hit hard as collaboration with Russian researchers is put on ice. “It’s impossible to get an overall picture of the Arctic without looking at Russia. If this becomes permanent, we will be thrown back 20 years,” says Margareta Johansson, who leads the unique research project INTERACT, which incorporates researchers from all eight Arctic countries.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In October, LUCSUS will host a conference on Loss and Damage (L&D) from climate change. Discussions to advance research on L&D are urgently needed, says LUCSUS Director Emily Boyd, since many challenges remain for the scientific and policy community on how L&D should be conceptualised, how best to measure, quantify an

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There is an urgent need for agriculture to drastically reduce its negative environmental impacts, while at the same time responding to increasing demand and adapting to a changing climate. For this to be possible, radical change in how we grow our major staple crops is essential. From the 6th through the 10th of May,

The year 2023 was a fantastic year for research at Lund University. The year can be summarised as 1825. In this case, it does not refer to the year 1825 and that our research has stagnated at the level it was then. Here, 1825 refers to four numbers: 1: Number one stands for a Nobel Prize – What a fantastic recognition for the incredible research conducted by Anne L'Huillier.8: Number eight stands

Teaching is to be as highly valued as research when it comes to appointments and promotions. Despite this ambition, it has rarely worked that way in practice. A recently completed project provides a new framework which will help faculty managements, as well as individual teaching staff members, to evaluate and develop educational qualifications. In the ‘Pedagogisk Meritering’ project, which concer

Emissions from our air travel decreased in 2024, compared with the previous year. Air travel accounts for the main part of our emissions from business travel and therefore the total climate impact of our business travel has decreased, even though emissions from car travel have increased. Every year, in connection with its annual report, the University submits a report on our environmental manageme

A new article in Ecology Letters has shown for the first time that grassland plants dependent on insect pollination are particularly susceptible to increasing land-use intensity in the landscape. Authors are BECC researchers Yann Clough, Johan Ekroos, BECC coordinator Henrik Smith et al. The researchers investigated the effects of land-use intensity in the surrounding landscape on the distribution
