I kölvattnet av klimatförändringar och ett allt varmare och torrare klimat blir skogsbränder allt vanligare. I Ukraina ökar kriget risken ytterligare. Redan i mars i år bröt bränder ut runt Tjernobyl. Forskaren Lina Eklund befarar att en torr sommar kan leda till ytterligare bränder med katastrofala humanitära och miljömässiga konsekvenser. Naturgeografen Lina Eklund, som under de senaste åren stu

Varför deltar studenterna inte i den lärarledda undervisningen på campus? Och vad gör de i stället? Den frågan har utretts på LTH det senaste året. En av slutsatserna i rapporten som presenterades i början av höstterminen är att lärare, både vid LTH och andra fakulteter, behöver fundera över vad syftet med undervisningen faktiskt är och tydliggöra det för studenterna. Undersökningen visar att en h

Dagens energisystem klarar inte framtidens extremväder, enligt en ny artikel i Nature Energy där en internationell forskargrupp räknat på 13 framtida klimatscenarier i 30 svenska städer. En ökande andel förnybart ökar sårbarheten ytterligare. Men vi slipper bli strömlösa om vi planerar redan nu.  Klimatet förändras och vi får räkna med ett allt lynnigare klimat framöver i form av exempelvis fler s

A research team has succeeded in analysing two temporally consecutive species of fossilised brittle stars. The findings show that a marine catastrophe 428 million years ago contributed to a radical change in the animals’ appearance. The new study clarifies how environmental disruptions can set off major evolutionary processes. Brittle stars are a group of echinoderms that are closely related to st

Soot is generated from incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of organic compounds. Soot strongly absorbs solar radiation contributing to global warming. Additionally, soot can enter deeply into human organs causing various types of cancers. Understanding soot nano-structures and properties is essential to predict their impacts on climate and human health. Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a powerful techniq

A new thesis explores how justice, which is a core principle of the global climate agreements, is considered in the global mitigation pathways assessed by the IPCC for staying within climate policy targets such as the 1.5-degree target. It shows how value-laden assumptions inform many of the pathways, representing a tangible risk to reproduce historical injustices. – Modelled mitigation scenarios
