In recent decades, the climate in Sweden has become about two degrees warmer on average and this year we have seen an unprecedentedly mild winter and early spring. How is nature responding – animals, insects, plants – to an increasingly mild climate? Researchers in Lund can provide the answer. Among other things, a new study shows that greenery in Sweden begins to appear between one to two weeks e

The results from the autumn travel habits survey show that a majority of the University’s staff (approx. 80%) get to and from work by walking, cycling or using public transport. This is a higher percentage than for other large organisations in Lund. However, there is potential for even more people to commute sustainably by investments in public transport and measures to promote cycling on campus.

Om du andas ut en klar dag i den rena, kalla luften på Arktis så kommer du inte att se ditt andetag forma det moln vi är vana vid att se när temperaturen sjunker. Moln kan nämligen inte bildas utan aerosolpartiklar. Moa Sporre, forskare i kärnfysik vid Lunds universitet, fokuserar på hur dessa partiklar påverkar moln bildningen och hur molnen i sin tur påverkar klimatet. Moln påverkarAerosoler är

Forskare från Lunds universitet har tillsammans med företaget Roche använt en metod för att utveckla en ny blodmarkör som kan upptäcka om en person har Alzheimers sjukdom eller inte. Om metoden godkänns för klinisk användning hoppas forskarna att den på sikt kan användas som diagnostiskt verktyg inom primärvården. Till hösten påbörjar de en studie i primärvården för att testa tekniken. I dag diagn

I Europas nordvästra hörn fungerar rörligheten och handeln över den norsk-svenska gränsen alldeles lysande. Mer än 25 000 människor pendlar över gränsen och båda länderna hör till varandras främsta handelspartners. Och då är ändå bara ett av länderna medlem i EU. Att gränstrafiken fungerar så smidigt kan därför komma som en överraskning. Förklaringen ligger i en kombination av kulturella förutsätt

Nu kan forskare i Lund avslöja vad danske kung Hans tänkte bjuda på när han skulle göra anspråk på den svenska tronen i Kalmar år 1495: en två meter lång atlantisk stör. De välbevarade fiskdelarna hittades i ett vrak på Östersjöns botten förra året och har nu kunnat artbestämmas genom DNA-analys. Vid midsommar år 1495 var danske kung Hans på väg från Köpenhamn till Kalmar på det påkostade flaggske

Patienter med hjärtinfarkt som får en snabb tilläggsbehandling med blodfettssänkande medicin, har en betydligt bättre prognos än de som får behandlingen sent, eller inte alls. Forskarna bakom studien menar att baserat på resultaten, skulle 100-200 nya hjärtinfarkter, stroke och dödsfall kunna förhindras i Sverige varje år.

Strong external pressure is needed to stop the violence between Israel and Hamas, which  has harvested immense humanitarian suffering on both sides. And it must happen quickly, according to Peace and conflict researcher Lisa Strömbom. The UN warns of full-scale war if the ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate. Hundreds, many of them children, have been killed in the attac

Climate research in the Arctic is being hit hard as collaboration with Russian researchers is put on ice. “It’s impossible to get an overall picture of the Arctic without looking at Russia. If this becomes permanent, we will be thrown back 20 years,” says Margareta Johansson, who leads the unique research project INTERACT, which incorporates researchers from all eight Arctic countries.
