On the first day of the COP28 climate change conference in Dubai, a formal decision was taken to establish a loss and damage fund to support developing countries to deal with loss and damage from climate change. A pragmatic success for climate justice, says sustainability professor Emily Boyd, who now hopes that Sweden will follow suit with promises of financial support. Emily Boyd, director and p

Att skydda, plantera och återställa kustnära ekosystem har fått allt större uppmärksamhet som ett sätt att fånga och lagra kol i mangroveskogar, sjögräs och kustnära våtmarker. Terese Thoni har i sin avhandling undersökt dessa ekosystems betydelse i relation till de politiska klimatförhandlingarna. För tio år sedan myntades begreppet ”blått kol” för det kol som fångas, skyddas eller lagras i kustn

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

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 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

A genetic study of small calcifications found in the lungs of the Lund 17th century bishop Peder Winstrup shows that tuberculosis is no older than about 6 000 years, as opposed to 70 000 years old as previously thought. The extremely well-preserved genome from the tuberculosis bacterium indicates that humankind was not affected by tuberculosis before the transition into agriculture. Tuberculosis i

A three-kilometre-long cylinder of ice sheds light on what the climate was like one hundred thousand years ago. The ice contains traces of periods of higher or lower temperatures on Earth, but also of whether there were violent volcanic eruptions and high solar activity. By understanding the climate of the past, researchers can develop better models to predict the climate of the future. There are

An international study led from Lund University in Sweden shows that 30 per cent of the energy in a certain type of light-absorbing iron molecule disappears in a previously unknown manner. By closing this loophole, the researchers hope to contribute to the development of more efficient solar cells using this iron-based solar cell. The sun is an unlimited source of pure and renewable energy. Howeve

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that plant-eating insects affect forest ecosystems considerably more than previously thought. Among other things, the insects are a factor in the leaching of nutrients from soil and increased emissions of carbon dioxide. The researchers also establish that the temperature may rise as a result of an increase in the amount of plant-eating insects in s

Swapping concrete and asphalt for trees, ponds and green roofs is an example of how cities can be adapted to cope with heavy rain and climate change. But time is running out. For nature-based solutions to have a global impact, we need to act fast, according to researchers. A late summer’s day in August 2014, 100 mm of rain fell over the course of a 24-hour period in the Sofielund area in Malmö. Ba
