Care labels on clothes are no longer enough to help consumers keep their garments in use for longer. New research shows that the clothing retail sector needs to take greater responsibility for making it easier to care for, repair and keep garments in use. Researchers involved in the CARE project share their advice. Extending the lifespan of clothes is not just about buying second-hand or reselling

FLASH-bestrålning är en form av strålbehandling där behandlingen levereras med ultrahög dosrat, över 100 Gy/s. Vid en behandling ges en hög dos på ca 30 Gy. Studier har visat att denna typ av behandling kan ha en skonande effekt på normalvävnad, samtidigt som tumörkontrollen bibehålls. Det är dock viktigt att veta att strålningen levereras till precis rätt volym. På LU och SUS pågår just nu forskn

On 6-8 October, the MERGE autumn meeting of 2014 was held in Kalmar. The three interesting days focused on the future possibilities of research within MERGE and what is to come. For those of you who could not join the meeting - and those of you who would like to see a particularly interesting presentation again - we have collected the presentations from the meeting here. MERGE is now at the end of

Alexandra Pongracz is a researcher at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Lund University and the programme chair for the Swedish Climate Symposium (SCS). With registration now open, we asked her to reflect on the symposium’s holistic approach, the highlights of this year’s programme, and why researchers, policymakers, and practitioners should take part. The theme of SCS 2026 is

Researchers at Lund University have produced the most detailed map of carbon emissions from Swedish forest fires to date. The results show that the largest emissions occur below the ground surface, in peat and organic soils. During the extremely hot summer of 2018, 324 forest fires were reported in Sweden. Using field measurements, models, and data from the Swedish Forest Agency, the Swedish Envir

Wildfires are becoming more frequent and are ravaging new parts of the world due to global warming. A study led by MERGE-members and researchers from the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers shows that this change is increasing the vulnerability of thousands of plants, animals and fungi. As global temperatures rise, the incidence of wildfires is increasing in many regions. This is mainly because

A lack of phosphorus in forest soil could lead to an acceleration of global climate change. This is shown by new research that has investigated the complex balance between carbon dioxide fertilisation, phosphorus deficiency and tree growth. The world’s forests are vital in the fight against climate change, as they absorb around a quarter of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Trees

A new study from MGeo (Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences), with support from BECC and MERGE, researcher Nitin Chaudhary shows how climate change may affect carbon storage in Indian forests – and has attracted wide attention in major Indian media. In this Q&A (questions and answers) Nitin explains why the findings matter, what makes the study new, and why the results need to be communi

According to new research, northern peatlands are likely to play a greater role in future climate change than previously thought. The study shows that large areas of peatland could start emitting carbon dioxide as early as the mid-2000s. To date, peatlands have mainly been regarded as natural environments capable of mitigating climate change, thanks to the fact that peat stores enormous quantities

Why are meeting places like the Swedish Climate Symposium needed to turn climate research and knowledge into concrete action? And what ideas, perspectives, and insights did participants take back to their own work? We took the opportunity to speak with participants from different universities and organisations and received many interesting answers. People featured and/or interviewed in the video:E

Climate change is transforming the coldest regions of our planet at an unprecedented pace. Yet one of the key factors governing how ice sheets, glaciers, and permafrost respond is often overlooked: snow. A new EU-funded research project aims to change that. SnowPI (Polar Snow, Permafrost and Inland Ice in a Changing World), a newly launched Horizon Europe research project, is putting snow at the c
