Johannes Edvardsson (forskare) och Lianne Gouma (gästdoktorand), båda vid geologiska institutionen, har intervjuats i flera medier med anledning av att de undersöker fyratusen år gamla trädstammar som legat under torven i en nordskånsk mosse. Edvardsson berättar bland annat att växthusgaser avges när träd börjar växa på mossar. På så sätt kan träden få rollen som klimatbov. Medier som rapporterat

Professor Mary Higby Schweitzer är utan jämförelse den mest betydelsefulla, framgångsrika och innovativa forskaren inom ämnet molekylär paleontologi – ett nytt, fascinerande forskningsfält som knyter samman molekylärbiologi, biokemi och paleontologi på ett nydanande sätt. Genom sina unika fynd av mjukvävnad och biomolekyler i fossil från krittida dinosaurier har Schweitzer nått världsvid berömmels

  Daniel Conley forskar om de urgamla haven. Han vill hitta ögonblicket då kemin i haven helt förändrades – när kiselalgerna blev vanliga – vilket förändrade jordens ekosystem. Förutom att kiselalgerna är en stor matkälla, tar de upp mängder av kisel från haven. De suger i sig koldioxid och ger ifrån sig syre. Hela 20 procent av syret i atmosfären idag tros komma från kiselalgerna.

För att möta framtidens utmaningar inom stadsutvecklingen och det stora behovet av fler bostäder, sker förtätning av städerna. Detta är en viktig fråga för en framtida hållbar stadsplanering. Förtätning av städer görs ofta genom att expandera bostadsområden in i gamla förorenade industriområden. Trots större statsanslag för sanering, har vi med nuvarande takt inte kunnat uppnå det nationella miljö

  Daniel Conley is investigating the seas of ancient times. His sights are set on finding a moment in time when the chemistry of the oceans changed completely, when the diatoms became common, which changed the Earth's ecosystem. In addition to be a major food source, the algae absorb large quantities of silicon from the oceans. They absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. As much as 20 percent

The terrestrial silicon (Si) cycle determines the amount of Si transported to the oceans. In this study we use Si isotopes measured in diatoms to show how human activity influences the Si budget of Lake Tiefer See (Germany) within the last 4300 years. Deforestation and crop harvest in the catchment are the dominant processes altering Si fluxes on centennial time scales. Link to the article.

Research has shed new light on the impact of humans on Earth’s biodiversity. The findings suggest that the rate of change in an ecosystem’s plant-life increases significantly during the years following human settlement, with the most dramatic changes occurring in locations colonized in the last 1500 years.  An international research team, including Karl Ljung and Svante Björck, studied fossilised
