An interdisciplinary team in medicine and technology took the help of LU innovation to concretize and commercialize their idea for better stroke diagnostics. "Talk about your idea already when you are at an early stage of the process, because if you then publish the results, it may be too late to get help", advises one of the award winners, the faculty's Isabel Gonçalves. Together, the researchers

If the university's information security fails, it can have major consequences. Therefore - take a course (LUISA) on safer information management. In order to carry out your work and duties as an employee, researcher or student, you both produce and have access to large amounts of information and data necessary for your particular role. It needs to be correct and accessible whenever you need it. I

Lucia brings lit candles when it's at its darkest. Today, she and her white-clad entourage walked into CRC and Forum Medicum. The modern Lucia celebration is considered to have started in the 1920s in Stockholm, with a public procession organized by a newspaper.Lucia's origins: as a saint in Sicily, via German 18th century tradition to today, December 13, 2023, when she is now apparently housed am

In February, ClimBEco PhD students gathered for our annual winter meeting. For the second consecutive year – but hopefully for the last time – the meeting was held digitally due to pandemic restrictions, with a small lunch gathering at the conclusion. During this two-day event, participants presented their PhD research to each other in an interdisciplinary setting. They had the option of sharing e

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

Thomas Pugh, principal investigator at BECC and researcher at MERGE, is one of the researchers behind a new study that is published in Science. In the study, the researchers compared results from three major modeling approaches that provide information on different aspects of risk on the impact of climate change on forests in the 21st century. Forests harbor enormous biodiversity and are a major c

China has suffered an extreme heat wave this summer and the Yangtze River has been completely dried up in parts. This is the topic of a new episode of the Swedish podcast Kinapodden with MERGE-researcher Deliang Chen as one of the guests. China has suffered an extreme heat wave this summer. The Yangtze River has been completely dried up in parts, resulting in an acute energy shortage. In a new epi
Effects of a warmer Arctic are not only negative for the climate, according to a new thesis from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science at Lund University, Sweden. Modelling showed that moving the tree line upwards could increase carbon storage, as trees sequester more carbon in their biomass than tundra plants. But the results are uncertain. The Arctic – the area north of the Arctic Cir

After this summer meeting, one cannot understate the importance of and unmistakeable delight in meeting in-person after a long, pandemic-sized hiatus. On the shores of the Baltic Sea, in the crisp early autumn of Skåne, a group of 28 ClimBEco PhD students spent two nights and two days getting to know one another and learning about the topic of sustainable coastal environments.

The UN’s annual climate change conference takes place this year in Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt. Over the course of two weeks, representatives of the world’s nations will gather to discuss how to achieve the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement and contribute to the climate transition. At this year’s COP, the focus will be on topics such as climate finance, loss and damage, adaptation to climate change a

Swedish, previously uncut forests have been converted to plantations at a steady rate since 2003. In a new study, MERGE-researcher Anders Ahlström and his research team find that old forests have been cut and lost by ∼1.4% per year since 2003, and at this rate they will disappear by the 2070s. Natural ecosystems that have experienced limited direct human impact are threatened by land use change. O

MERGE is one of the partners in CLIMB-FOREST - a new Horizon Europe project that will investigate how the climate is affected by different ways of managing the forest. There is a lot of expertise in each individual country, but there is no coordinated overview of Europe’s forests and forest health. A major new EU project, CLIMB-FOREST, will create an overview of European forests and forestry over

Tipping elements are regions that are vulnerable to climate change and capable of sudden drastic changes. However, it is not well understood to what degree tipping of one element in the system can influence other tipping elements. In this study, the researchers establish long-distance connections (teleconnections) between tipping elements using network analysis – thus applying a new approach in cl
SMHI, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, is one of the partners in MERGE with many active scientists. SMHI has recently released a podcast that guides the listener through the interesting subject of climate research in practice. In the public debate, we often here the that we need to listen to the climate scientists. But what do climate scientists actually say? How do we study
