Nature is a source of well-being and recovery for many people. However, research shows that there is also a growing number of individuals who experience negative emotions, such as fear, discomfort, or even disgust, toward nature. The phenomenon, called biophobia, is now highlighted in a new study from Lund University. “Research has long assumed that people fundamentally feel positive emotions towa

Solar storms can be far more powerful than previously thought. A new study 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. Our planet is constantly being bombarded by cosmic particles. However, at times the stream of particles is particularly stro

Extensive power outages and satellite blackouts that affect air travel and the internet are some of the potential consequences of massive solar storms. These storms are believed to be caused by the release of enormous amounts of stored magnetic energy due to changes in the magnetic field of the sun’s outer atmosphere - something that until now has eluded scientists’ direct measurement. Researchers

New research in five EU countries reveals stakeholders’ views on what is needed to enable a shift towards 1.5° C-compatible lifestyles. Bans and taxes for unsustainable behaviour and outcomes, positive incentives for low-carbon attitudes, and better public funding for basic services, are seen as essential climate policies to overcome current barriers to action at the household level - according to

An exciting, interesting and well-visited BECC annual meeting went off October 17-18 at Falkenberg Grand Hotel. The program was filled with lessons from the past and implications for the future regarding biodiversity conservation and policy. The meeting ended with perspectives from a climate journalist and his great tips on how to communicate climate research to the public (and journalists!).

Read an interview with Kimberly Nicholas, BECC researcher, dealing with food, ecosystems and land-use. Kimberly talks about Paris and COP21, taking personal responsability and social media. After five years in Lund, Kimberly Nicholas has grown roots here. She comes from a family of turkey ranchers and wine-growers in California, and food has been with her for her whole life. Her research at LUCSUS

Tell us, why Tunisia? As a PhD student in political science with a focus on comparative politics in the Middle East, I investigate feminist activism and gender politics in the Middle East and North Africa, with a particular focus on Tunisia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. What interests me is largely that feminism is usually seen as a European or Western "product" that is exported to the rest of the worl

“A good way to see the daily life of science.” That is one of the conclusions from the summer scholarship holders from high schools in Skåne – a programme offering teenagers a way to dive into how it is to work with research. “This is a good way to see the daily life of science – how it is to work in a lab, as a fact, not just only seeing a show that is the result of something that has had been pr

When light ejects electrons from atoms, understanding their full quantum nature goes beyond measuring momentum. Using quantum-state tomography, researchers reconstructed the complete quantum states of electrons emitted from helium and argon atoms by ultrashort extreme-ultraviolet light pulses. They found that helium produces a pure state, while argon’s spin–orbit interaction entangles the electron

Karin Steen, researcher at LUCSUS, was recently in Zimbabwe researching land and land use issues, with particular focus on women. You research women’s rights to soil and land; do you believe the regime change could affect their rights?It is too early to say how much of a change the transfer of power will bring. But everyone I have spoken to during my visit has been incredibly relieved, and faith i

LUCUS today, 11th December, presents a new travel policy for staff and associated researchers. It sets out a number of commitments aimed to reduce work-related emissions and takes effect from January 2019. Reducing flying amongst staff is the number one priority, since flying is the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in academia. The commitments are not binding but each staff member

LUMES student Carolina Sandoval Marmolejo organised a workshop on how to densify Lund during Lund Sustainability Week together with fellow student Sari Nomura. With their stand in the city centre, they aimed to start a conversation on how the public would like to see their buildings and public spaces used. Passers-by were invited to place sticky notes on a map of Lund on spaces and areas they thin
