“Lundensare” Nobel Prize winner Arvid Carlsson (1923-2018) did not receive the prestigious Nobel Prize while living or working in Lund – but he is an alumnus! Carlsson grew up in Lund (which could clearly be heard in his Lund accent) and in 1951 he became a doctor of medicine at Lund University. He was employed as an associate professor of pharmacology and in 1959 he left for Gothenburg, where he

Where, how often, and how much it is going to rain or snow in the future is difficult to predict. Anders Ahlström studies the importance of precipitation for ecosystems on Earth – and contributes with new knowledge in a complex and fraught area. Across the world, researchers are in agreement on future warming patterns. However, future precipitation is more difficult to predict, and climate models

A new research project led by LUCSUS will examine immobility as an adaptation strategy. Through a novel research approach, and field work in different areas affected by sea level rise and erosion, it will shed light on the communities who are unable – or unwilling – to move despite negative effects on their environment. Average sea levels have swelled about 23 cm since 1880, with about 7 cm in the

At least a third of the glaciers in the Himalayan range could melt due to climate change. This will have severe consequences for almost 2 billion people, including the village communities in Nepal, since the glaciers are an important water and energy source. Researcher Mine Islar is examining the future of renewable energy through micro-hydro power in Nepal by looking at collective action to find

By describing his research as a battle between good and evil and likening himself to a hacker who attacks cancer cells to make them kind, PhD student Luís Oliveira took home the win in this year's Research Grand Prix. It is a competition in presentation technique for researchers, and it was held in front of an audience of almost 400 students at Helsingborg's Stadsteater on 1 October. His presentat

A new study, published in the scientific journal PLOS One, reveals that a culture of silence surrounds sexual harassment in universities. The study was based on the supporting documents collected for the 2019-2020 Tellus report. The study, which ran from 2019-2020, was conducted via surveys sent to all staff and students at Lund University; the response rate was around one third in both groups. Th

Olika fågelarter som migrerar har olika genetiskt programmerade rutiner som ger dem signaler när det är dags att ge sig av och återkomma. Det kan handla om faktorer som dagsljus, temperatur, väder och jordens magnetism. Dessa flyttprogram har studerats tidigare, men nya tekniker och beräkningskapacitet ger möjlighet att hantera stora mängder data och även simulera olika faktorer så att forskarna e
