- about the project The concept of deep time is a result of the insights into Earth’s multi-billion-year history. Most of this time our planet harbored life. Animals likely arose as far back as 800 million years ago. Their increased speed of movement, as compared to other life forms, very soon led to the evolution of a nervous system that integrated sensory organs with motor movements. This was th

The cognitive zoology team conducts behavioral studies measuring various cognitive skills. We mainly study different species of lizards, turtles, crocodilians and palaeognath birds. They occupy different phylogenetic nodes in the tree of life and represent different evolutionary paths and relatedness to one another. We measure so-called fundamental cognitive functions. Such functions underly more

The neuroanatomy team studies the brains of extant reptiles and birds to be able to reconstruct their evolution. Animal brains vary quite a lot in absolute size as well as size relative to the body and exhibit a huge diversity of shapes, but they also vary enormously on the inside and new techniques in neuroscience make it possible to study this hidden variation on a large scale. We collect brains

The palaeontology team has members in Scotland and the US and together have collected high-resolution CT scans of about 300 fossil reptiles and birds, including a diversity of extinct species on the line to modern-day crocodilians, dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex and Stegosaurus, and numerous species spanning the dinosaur-bird evolutionary transition. Their published work has shown that many dino

Monthly seminars for researchers across the university, as well as our collaboration partners in industry and other institutes, to come together. Each month, LUBIRC holds a breakfast seminar on a different topic of interest to our collaboration network. This includes new science and research in our areas of interest, but also talks by industry representatives, or on wider aspects of sustainability

Lund University has a large team of researchers focusing on increasing our knowledge of how to create environmentally friendly chemicals, plastics, specific materials, fuel and energy sources from raw biological materials (biomass). Our hope is that our knowledge, which is based on several decades of both fundamental, and more applied research in collaboration with industry, will contribute to a s

Biofuels are one of the many different types of products that can be made in biorefineries. There is a great need for society to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels (from, for example, coal or natural gas) in order to reduce the quantity of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere, and the use of biofuels is one opportunity to do so. Producing biofuels can be the main process of a biorefinery,

A refinery is a factory where raw materials are transformed into useable products such as chemicals. Biorefineries perform the same role, but with biological raw material (biomass) such as plants or microorganisms instead of traditional chemicals. Biomass is a renewable source of raw material, as we can always grow more, unlike commonly used fossil fuels. In order to use biomass, the chemical reac
