Connecting the Seas of Norden

See the recent article with Daniel Conley in Nature Climate Change on Connecting the Seas of Norden.The Nordic Seas are highly sensitive to environmental change and have been extensively monitored and studied across a broad range of marine disciplines. For these reasons, the Nordic seas may serve as a pilot area for integrated policy development in response to ongoing climate change.

Världens äldsta kompletta jaktvapen i trä yngre än trott (medförfattare Zoran Perić)

Världens äldsta kompletta jaktvapen i trä är 200 000 år gamla, inte 300 000 som tidigare trott. Detta visar en ny datering som Zoran Perić vid Geologiska institutionen har medverkat i och som nu publicerats i Science Advances och uppmärksammats i internationella medier. Upptäckten innebär att spjuten härstammar från neandertalarna, vilket fördjupar vår förståelse för deras komplexa sociala beteend

What if we paid countries to protect biodiversity?

Researchers from Sweden, Germany, Brazil and the USA have developed a financial mechanism to support the protection of the world’s natural heritage. In a recent study, they developed three different design options for an intergovernmental biodiversity financing mechanism. Asking, what would happen if money was given to countries for providing protected areas, they simulated where the money would f

CEC affiliates with Marine Centre in Simrishamn for a collaboration on ocean and water research

Lund University and Simrishamn Municipality have created a joint research environment at the Marine Centre in Simrishamn to address the challenges facing the Baltic Sea. An Academic Council led by Maria C Hansson from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Research (CEC) will be affiliated to the centre. The overall goal is to help solve environmental problems in the Baltic bay, Hanöbukten, and

Biodiversity leads to increased crop production

A diversity of different pollinators and other beneficial organisms in an agricultural landscape leads to an increase in crop production. This has been shown by a comprehensive international study that included researchers from Lund University. The study investigated two so-called ecosystem services that are of great significance to our food production. They concern the pollination of crops and na

Broader view of blue carbon gives climate summit input

Protecting, planting and restoring coastal ecosystems has attracted increased attention as a way of capturing and storing carbon in mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrass meadows. In her dissertation, Terese Thoni has investigated the importance of these ecosystems in relation to the political climate negotiations. Ten years ago, the concept of "blue carbon" was established to describe the carbon c

Another type of forest management would provide greater values for society

A forest management method different to those practised today would contribute to greater welfare and wellbeing for society in general, compared with current methods that mainly benefit the forestry industry. This has been shown in a new study by two researchers from Lund University in Sweden. There is an intensive debate at the moment about the best way to use the forest as a resource, not least

Farmers’ incentives for choosing most appropriate environmental measures must increase

Many farmers are positive to measures beneficial for biodiversity and the environment. But bureaucracy and regulatory hassle often stand in the way, says Lovisa Nilsson in a new dissertation, while also calling for better financial incentives for the individual farmer to choose the best environmental measures. In a new doctoral dissertation, presented at the Centre for Environmental and Climate Re

Beyond the climate anxiety, there is sadness and hope

How do you feel when you spend a large proportion of your waking hours noting facts about a planet in crisis? What is it like when every day you take a long, hard look at issues concerning global warming and the loss of biodiversity? Quite OK despite everything, is the answer when the question comes up during the ClimBEco graduate school’s winter meeting where climate psychologist Frida Hylander i

Particles baffle climate researchers

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
