Oxygen in the World’s Oceans is Declining, Scientists Reveal Dangers and Solutions

In the past 50 years, the amount of water in the open ocean without oxygen has gone up more than four-fold. In coastal water bodies, including estuaries and seas, low-oxygen sites have increased more than 10-fold since 1950. Protecting sensitive species, controlling eutrophication and climate change and improving monitoring are some solutions to the problem, according to researchers from, among ot

Daniel Conley has been awarded nearly EUR 3.3 million for a five-year project on the global silicon cycle.

Silicon has a crucial effect on the planet’s climate A comprehensive research project on the mineral silicon and the anonymous climate heroes in the oceans, diatoms, is now starting. Every day, the tiny diatoms, which are a type of phytoplankton, absorb enormous amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. And when they die, they take the carbon with them. Daniel Conley, a professor of biogeochemistry a

Dating of ancient peat in northern Sweden contribute to new insight into global carbon cycle

Scientists have unearthed and pieced together evidence on more than 1,000 ancient wetland sites from across the globe, that are presently covered by fields, forests and lakes. Although vanished from the Earth’s surface, these buried sites could explain some of the differences between global carbon cycle models and real-life observations, as shown in a study now published in PNAS. Work done at the

Researchers uncover additional evidence for massive solar storms

Solar storms can be far more powerful than previously thought. A new study with researchers from the dept. of Geology, has found evidence for the third known case of a massive solar storm in historical times. The researchers believe that society might not be sufficiently prepared if a similar event were to happen now. More reading: https://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/article/researchers-uncover-addit

Daniel Conley has been awarded EUR 2.5 million for a five-year project on the impact of the evolution of diatoms on the oceans.

Daniel Conley, professor of biogeochemistry at the Department of Geology, Lund University, has received EUR 2.5 million (just over SEK 26 million) for a five-year project on the impact of the evolution of diatoms on the oceans. Diatoms have a significant impact on the global biogeochemical cycle of carbon, silica and other nutrients that regulate ocean productivity and ultimately the planet's clim
