Forests have long been seen as a sink for greenhouse gases. Research conducted by scientists from University of Gothenburg has shown that over a forest rotation of 80 years, forest production on drained peat soil is a large source of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. BECC/MERGE researchers Hongxing He and Åsa Kasimir, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Gothenburg, are two of the authors

The areas of research remain the same, but our perspective on them has changed. This is how consumer researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Emma Samsioe describe developments in retail research over the past ten years. "In one of our latest reports, we call it “Retail as unusual”. There is no longer a ‘normal’ state in retail, no ‘business as usual’. Everything has become more uncertain,” says Carys Egan

I en studie publicerad i Nature Energy visar forskare från Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet att bristen på infrastruktur var en viktig faktor bakom att bilproducenter valde att tillverka bensinbilar istället för elbilar i det tidiga 1900-talets USA. Forskarna uppskattar att om elnätet hade etablerats och spridits 15 till 20 år tidigare så kunde det ha lett till att en majoritet av producente
