Associate Professor Rustam Urinboyev spent more than five years studying the experiences and life stories of Uzbek migrant workers in Moscow. In the book Migration and Hybrid Political Regimes: Navigating the Legal Landscape in Russia, he reveals how migrants navigate an ever-changing migration system pervaded by corruption. From April to November, working age men are rare in the Fergana Valley in

The silencing of social leaders in Colombia who are defending their territories leads to a historical erasure of social struggles, a decreased capacity to progress environmental and human rights, and risks jeopardizing the goal of a stable and durable peace. This is according to a new study from LUCSUS. – The fight for land and the environment is also a fight for human rights, traditions, shared m

Two researchers at Lund University in Sweden have been awarded almost EUR 5 million in total from the European Research Council. One of the research projects focuses on the early growth of diatoms in the ocean 250 million years ago, and the subsequent global effects of the algae growth. The other grant will go towards research on the automatic control necessary to create fossil-free cities. Daniel

The cells that produce insulin and glucagon are difficult to access, as they are located inside the fragile pancreas. Researchers looking to understand how they function and what underpins the development of diabetes are therefore often advised to conduct their experiments on animals. The Human Tissue Lab, on the other hand, provides researchers with access to cells from deceased human donors; thi

What would it take for people living 100 000 years from now to be able to understand a message from people living today? Language historian and exegete Ola Wikander has, on behalf of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB), outlined some of the linguistic challenges. The question of how to warn people in the future was raised in connection with the decision made in January this

Mathematics Professor Kalle Åström studies the future of agriculture with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). He develops mathematical models to optimise harvests and contribute to climate-friendly agriculture. Artificial intelligence and agriculture may seem like two different worlds, but not for Kalle Åström. On the contrary, he sees synergies and is keen to bring the two together. The Pro

Read Klara Winkler's blog post on the article she, Joshua Viers, and Kim Nicholas published in Frontiers in Environmental Science. It is no surprise that the natural environment plays a big part in the vocabulary of wine enthusiasts, where “grassy”, “earthy”, and “vegetal” invoke perceptions of vineyards embedded within nature. Although vineyards have been part of Europe’s landscape for centuries,

New research from Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies shows that children’s relationships with nature are not only important for their wellbeing but also for future sustainable forest management. The study also shows that different socioeconomic factors affect children’s experiences of and relationships with the forest. Currently, young people are at risk of having less and less cont

The city is the perfect place to study nature and how humans affect it, says Johan Kjellberg Jensen. In a new dissertation from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University, he explores the interaction between plants, animals, and humans in the physical environment of cities.  Many of us associate 'nature' with something we go to the countryside to experience. But natu

If you exhale on a clear day in the clean, cold air of the Arctic, you will not see your breath form the cloud we are used to seeing when the temperature drops. The reason for this is that the cloud cannot form without aerosol particles. Moa Sporre, researcher in nuclear physics at Lund University, focuses on how these particles affect cloud formation and how the clouds, in turn, affect the climat
