The summer 2022 brought extreme heatwaves in many places globally, and the debate has included the term "killer heat". In moist areas the high temperatures will be even harder to the human body, and the rising temperatures may make certain areas very hard to live in by the end of this century. High temperatures in combination with humid air may cause extreme heat known as wet bulb temperature, or

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Många lantbrukare är positivt inställda till åtgärder som kan gynna den biologiska mångfalden och miljön. Men byråkrati och regelkrångel står ofta i vägen menar Lovisa Nilsson i en ny avhandling, som även efterlyser bättre ekonomiska incitament för den enskilde lantbrukaren att välja bra miljöåtgärder.

Henrik Smith tilldelas Marsh Awards for Ecology av British Ecological Society. Priset uppmärksammar hans långvariga insatser för att utveckla ekologisk forskning och för att stärka kopplingen mellan vetenskap och samhälle. Han själv betonar vikten av att forskningen interagerar med samhället – tiden är förbi när det räckte att skriva en tung studie som sedan stod och samlade damm. Motiveringen til

The Polar regions play a crucial role in balancing global climate – with the poles heating up much faster than the rest of the world. Yet, climate projections for the Polar regions still have significant uncertainties. This is hampering efforts to curb climate change and deal with the effects we already see at play not only within the Polar regions, but also in Europe and the rest of the world. Po

Lund University has been sliding down the lists of the three main university ranking organisations for several years. Today, we make only one of the top 100 lists, and even then with a mere five places above the 100 cut-off. Daniel J. Guhr is an expert on the importance of these rankings and knows what the consequences can be if the downward trend continues. “Losing a top 100 position in all three

Solar energy stored in the form of fuel is something scientists hope could partially replace fossil fuels in the future. Researchers may have solved a long-standing problem that has hindered the development of sustainable solar fuels. If solar energy can be used more efficiently using iron-based systems, this could pave the way for cheaper solar fuels. “We can now see previously hidden mechanisms

They cross oceans, glide on monsoon winds, and can appear in new places after thousands of kilometres in the air. Now a new study from Lund University shows that dragonflies are among nature’s most extreme migrants - and that their journeys may help us understand climate change. Dragonflies and damselflies are predatory insects with powerful jaws, compound eyes and spectacular colours. What is les

Havsbaserad vindkraft utmålas som en av lösningarna för att lösa elkrisen i södra Sverige. Samtidigt har den drabbats av ”not in my backyard-problematik”, då många kommuner säger nej till regeringens beslut. Forskaren Henner Busch har studerat vad som behövs för att få med sig lokalbefolkningen och skapa en rättvis energiomställning. Under hösten tog regeringen beslut om att ge Svenska kraftnät i
