A new study from Lund University has, for the first time, reconstructed solar activity during the last ice age. The study shows that the regional climate is influenced by the sun and offers opportunities to better predict future climate conditions in certain regions. Raimund Muscheler is co-author of the article and is an active researcher within MERGE and BECC. For the first time, a research team

Through analyzes of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found evidence of an extreme solar storm that occurred about 9,200 years ago. What puzzles the researchers is that the storm took place during one of the sun's more quiet phases – during which it is generally believed our planet is less exposed to such events. The sun is a prerequisite

Every day, huge amounts of satellite images are collected from the Earth's surface – data that shows everything from deforestation to urbanization and the effects of climate change. Now, with the support of the Swedish National Space Board, a new competence center is being established to make it easier for social scientists to use space-based information. The new national center, the Swedish Compe

En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt en mekanism som hjälper akut myeloisk leukemi-celler att undgå kroppens immunförsvar. Genom att utveckla en antikropp som blockerar mekanismen kunde forskarna återställa immunförsvarets förmåga att döda cancercellerna i laboratorieförsök och i möss. Upptäckten publiceras i Nature Cancer. Studien i korthet:I studien visas hur en nyupptäckt mekanism
