“The establishment of operations is underway, but it will be on a smaller scale and first and second-cycle studies will not move”

The Boards of the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and the Faculty of Science have decided to aim for a more modest establishment in Science Village, i.e. the area between Max IV and ESS. The decision is justified, among other things, by the fact that the Departments of Physics and Chemistry would incur high rental costs if both research and education were to move. So says Annika Mårtensson, assistant

Height study casts light on genetic mechanisms

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. An extensive global gene-mapping project has identified a large number of loci that dictate whether a person is tall or short. The aim of the project is to find out more about how many genes interact to form biologically interesting mechanisms behind diseases. "Height on its own is perhaps not tremendously interesting

The institute welcomes four new Advanced Study Groups in the autumn.

The new Advanced Study Groups, who will start their work at the institute in September, will investigate questions related to: artistic processes in music and literary creation; land use conflicts in Sweden; the energy crisis impacts on households; industries and on the energy transition; and the linkages between digital innovation and emergent digital inequalities in relation to human rights. We

Power of Silence: Lunch Seminar Explores “Silence Studies” as a Lens for Politics, Migration, and Knowledge

Lund, Sweden – 4 March 2026The Department of Sociology of Law at Lund University hosted a lunch seminar bringing together researchers to examine the “Power of Silence” as an emerging research concept, treating silence not as an absence of meaning, but as a phenomenon that can be read, interpreted, and analyzed. The session, held in connection with the EU-funded MOCCA (Multilevel Orders of Corrupti

Study identifies seven ways in which farmers can help increase carbon storage in soil

Farming practices have the potential to slow climate change by pulling carbon from the air and store it in the soil. A new study from LUCSUS has identified seven ways in which farmers can increase carbon sequestration. It also found that woody perennials took up more than annual crops, suggesting that winegrowing could be particularly favorable for carbon soil storage. – What can farmers do to hel

Reducing energy imports is not sufficient to tackle climate change according to a new study published in Nature Energy and co-authored by an IIIEE alumnus and professor

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. While climate policies would have a beneficial effect for energy security in most countries, energy independence policies would not bring significant climate benefits.Ambitious policies to reduce energy imports would have little impact on climate change, and could be achieved much more cheaply than the climate mitigat

Fabiola Espinoza Córdova studies climate change adaptation in coastal communities in relation to power and justice

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. As a PhD student in the MaCoBios project, Fabiola Espinoza Córdova aims to explore how we can reframe adaptation to climate change in coastal communities towards more sustainable and just pathways. She believes that impacts on marine and coastal ecosystems linked to climate change are not only driven by global warming

Recent study reveals sub-seasonal drought sensitivity across Europe

A new study by an international group of researchers, including three scientists from the department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, offers critical insights into the immediate impact of meteorological drought on vegetation across Europe. The information can strengthen the information base for planning of water management and drought responsiveness. Droughts are becoming increasingly

2025 is the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation - research at LUCSUS studies impacts of glacial melt

Around the world, glaciers are retreating at unprecedented rates due to climate change. On January 21, the United Nations General Assembly declared 2025 the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation (IYGP). Mine Islar, who leads the ongoing glacier research at LUCSUS, presented at the launch event in Geneva. Why is 2025 designated as a glacier preservation year?– 2025 is seen as a tipping point

PhD student Lina Lefstad studies how carbon capture and storage technology is used and envisioned in climate change policy

PhD student Lina Lefstad is passionate about working towards just climate change mitigation. She is excited about how we as a society can use CCS technology in the most just and effective way for the technology to genuinely contribute to decarbonisation and emissions reductions. What do you explore in your PhD-project?  My PhD is part of a broader project called “Burying problems? Carbon capture a

Kraftig ökning av algblomning på 2000-talet enligt ny studie av satellitbilder

I maj och juni 2020 hittades mer än 300 döda elefanter i Botswanas deltaområde Okavango. Till en början misstänkte man att tjuvjakt var orsaken, men det visade sig senare att de var förgiftade av cyanobakterier efter att ha druckit vatten. Giftiga algblomningar i vatten är ett allvarligt miljöproblem i sjövatten eftersom det är finns risk för människor och djurs liv. I en ny studie publicerad i Na
