Over the last 40 years, the majority of the world’s lakes have changed colour, according to a new study. The research team analysed 32 million satellite observations from over 67,000 lakes. Major changes in the lake ecosystems are thought to be the cause. Lakes are critical components of Earth’s ecosystem. They provide habitats for aquatic and terrestrial species, support biodiversity and help mai

El Niño, a climate troublemaker, has long been one of the largest drivers of variability in the global climate. Every few years, the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean seesaws between warm (El Niño) and cold (La Niña) phases. This reshuffles rainfall patterns, unleashing floods, droughts and storms thousands of miles from the Pacific origin. The 1997-98 and 2015-16 El Niño events, for instance, brough

As Europe moves toward climate neutrality by 2050, forests are at the center of the transition. The ForestPaths project brings together researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders across the continent to co-design forest-based policy pathways that balance climate goals, biodiversity, and economic needs. A recent study*, supported by ForestPaths. analyzed over 182,000 forest plots across 11 countri

Read the MERGE 2014 self-evaluation here. Some of the headlines of the report are: Research output, Strategic value for the society and the business sector and Collaboration. The MERGE self-evaluation is one step of the total evaluation of the strategic research environments. Before summer the final MERGE self-evaluation was sent in, answering 20 questions about the performance during the first fo

Earlier this spring, MERGE researchers gathered in Stockholm with their European colleagues to plan the final developments of the EC-Earth4 climate model that will underpin the next report of the IPCC, expected in 2028. The EC-Earth consortium, started in 2006, is a European consortium of national meteorological services and research institutes. From its original model it has been developed in thr

How can artificial intelligence help us better predict the future of our planet? That was the central question when researchers from across Europe gathered at Lund University earlier this summer for the second full consortium meeting of AI4PEX—a four-year Horizon Europe research project focused on improving Earth System Models (ESMs) using the latest AI methods. Organised by the Max Planck Institu

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere vary naturally between ice ages and interglacial periods. A new study by researchers and BECC and MERGE-members at the University of Gothenburg and Lund University, among others, shows that an unexpectedly large proportion of carbon dioxide emissions after the ice age may have come from thawing permafrost. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere vary natural

By combining satellite data, mathematical and statistical ecosystem modeling, and artificial intelligence, it is now possible to generate earlier and more reliable crop yield forecasts—an essential step toward ensuring future food security in a changing climate. This is demonstrated in a new doctoral thesis by Xueying Li, PhD at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, and membe

By analysing over 100,000 field measurements as well as environmental data, an international research team has created maps that show how and when naturally regrowing forests bind most carbon. To fulfil climate goals and avoid the most serious consequences of global heating, we need to both reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and remove carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere. Naturally

From Spain to Estonia, multiple Erasmus students gathered to prepare a special event at school. This event organized by the international team was held in the Malmö Music Academy cafeteria. The idea came from Sara Engblom, international coordinator at the academy.    I got the idea during a visit to the Netherlands last year. It was at a much larger academy and therefore with many more students, b
