Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

A warmer global climate can cause mutations to have more severe consequences for the health of organisms through their detrimental effect on protein function. This may have major repercussions for an organisms’ ability to adapt to, and survive in, the altered habitats of the future. This is shown in a new research study now published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Na

CMES researcher and physical geographer Lina Eklund is tracking the destruction of Gaza week by week using satellite images. Her analyses could be significant if, once the fighting between Israel and Hamas is over, questions of possible war crimes are raised at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

In a newly published study in Nature Communications, Emma Hammarlund and her research team at Lund University detail how daily fluctuations in oxygen levels influenced the rise of animal life. Their findings offer new insights as to how dramatic daily shifts in oxygen availability and stress may have played a central role in the evolution of complex organisms on Earth. “Now, when we explore animal
In this series of reports, you will learn about the process for surgical treatment of advanced osteoarthritis, starting from when a patient first sees an orthopedic specialist to ultimately receiving surgery. We will give you insight into the multiple healthcare visits one needs in order to undergo joint replacement. If you or someone you know is waiting to see an orthopedic doctor for assessment

How did we end up here? What do we do to get out of it? In climate research, it is important to understand how the world works if we are to change our behaviour and prevent future catastrophes. Researchers use mathematical formulas to try and visualise reality, in order to find out what changes we need to make. “We build models in an attempt to represent nature’s behaviour using mathematical equat

George Neville works as a post-doctoral researcher within the Misty project, with a special focus on migration and the SDGs. In this interview, he tells us about what sustainability challenge he finds most interesting, what drives him as a researcher, and about what he did before he came to LUCSUS. What do you do at LUCSUS?I have just begun my postdoctoral research here at LUCSUS, working within t
A computational science hub, COSHE, has been established at Lund University. The aim is to become a creative hub for computational science with a focus on interdisciplinary research in the fields of health, climate and the environment. COSHE works with machine learning, statistical learning methods, physical system modeling and quantum computing. The research groups behind COSHE already have parti

After observing the decrease in economic activities, air pollution and carbon emissions as a result of the lockdown measures during the COVID-19, some academics argue that such down-scaling can be considered as degrowth. Although the sudden, unplanned and chaotic downscaling of social and economic activities due to Covid-19 has some similarities with degrowth, this is not what degrowth advocates f

Stem cells from umbilical cords in Skåne are improved with nanotubes. By cross-pollinating nanotechnology with stem cell biology, researchers are creating gentle methods to ensure that more cells perform better. Blood stem cells are altered without showing that they have been modified. “If you are interested in working with blood stem cells in Sweden, this is the place to be.” So says Martin Hjort
