The incorporation of water isotopologues into the hydrology of general circulation models (GCMs) facilitates the comparison between modeled and measured proxy data in paleoclimate archives. However, the variability and drivers of measured and modeled water isotopologues, as well as the diversity of their representation in different models, are not well constrained. Improving our understanding of t
Written with media students in mind, this accessible book provides both students and researchers with a new perspective on how to research engagement, not as a metric but as a marker of power relations.This book navigates the reader through a tighter analytical notion of engagement within an understanding of media, culture and democracy. Dahlgren and Hill offer a new definition of engagement as an
If you really want to know how much Australia contributes to the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere, you have to study all the “sources” and “sinks”.Sources release CO₂ into the atmosphere, while sinks take it out. There are sources from human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, and there are natural sinks such as plants absorbing CO₂. You can tally it all up on a balance sheet
The processes responsible for methane (CH4) emissions from boreal wetlands are complex; hence, their model representation is complicated by a large number of parameters and parameter uncertainties. The arctic-enabled dynamic global vegetation model LPJ-GUESS (Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator) is one such model that allows quantification and understanding of the natural wetland CH4 flu
Observed winter near-surface air temperature anomalies in the Northern Hemisphere have exhibited a warm Arctic-cold Eurasia (WACE) pattern with interdecadal variation in recent decades, but the exact mechanism behind WACE is still under debate. This study used reanalysis data and climate model simulations to investigate the interdecadal variability of the WACE pattern on a centennial scale, as wel
Terrestrial vegetation is a crucial component of the Earth system, and its changes not only represent one of the most distinct aspects of climate change but also exert significant feedback within the climate system by exchanging energy, moisture, and carbon dioxide. To quantitatively and mechanistically study climate-vegetation feedback, numerical vegetation models have been developed on the theor
We performed simulations of future biophysical vegetation-climate feedbacks with a regional Earth System Model, RCA-GUESS, interactively coupling a regional climate model and a process-based model of vegetation dynamics and biogeochemistry. Simulated variations in leaf area index and in the relative coverage of evergreen forest, deciduous forest, and open land vegetation in response to simulated c

Agenda 2030 Graduate School monthly newsletter #5 2026-05-11 Ylva van Meeningen Hi! Is it time again? Did we not just speak like yesterday and where I told you about the unicorn sticker and stuff? I am not sure I have so much inspiring to say this time around. Maybe next time. But I might have something to say on what is to come. In case you have missed it, Lundakarnevalen is coming to town 22-24t

Estimating biomass and phenology in African Rangelands using Earth Observation Background: INES (Lars Eklundh and Jonas Ardö) recently got a contract for a project (RAMONA, staring in December 2021) with the European Space Agency (ESA). This project aims to develop and apply methodology to assess grazing resources in African Rangelands using (mainly) data from the Sentinels (Sentinel 1,2, and 3 in

In our study, we identified a general biogeographical pattern within bioregions. This pattern, called ‘core-to-transition’, largely reflects a covarying gradient in four biodiversity aspects from a single biogeographical core, not the geometrical centre, towards its permeable boundaries. Species richness and endemicity decline from the core, whereas biota overlap and species occupancy increase. Ad
From a paradigmatic understanding of tourism, the thing about tourism experiences is that they differ from everyday life. You experience different places, see different people, get to know different ways of doing things, and so on. To do tourism, then, is to experience a series of changes from the ordinary. Several things change in the course of the making and consumption of a tourism product. For
De nordliga höga latitudernas fysiska miljö, inklusive kryosfären i Arktis, har genomgått dramatiska förändringar under de senaste decennierna tack vare uppvärmning och andra klimatförändringar kopplade till antropogena utsläpp av växthusgaser. Uppvärmningen i regionen är ungefär det dubbla jämfört med ökningen i medeltemperaturen globalt. Globala klimatmodeller förutspår att denna förstärkta uppvThe physical environment in the northern high latitudes including the Arctic cryosphere has undergone dramatic changes due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas warming, which since pre-industrial times has been twice or more the rate of global mean warming. Global climate models predict that this accelerated warming will continue for at least the next few decades. Meanwhile, the arctic and subarctic ve
Vårt syfte med denna rapport är att diskutera drivmedel från ett brett perspektiv ur hållbarhetssynpunkt. Biodrivmedel och el analyseras och jämförs med fossila drivmedel. Vår målsättning är att försöka peka ut under vilka förutsättningar som drivmedel kan anses försvarbara ur hållbarhetssynpunkt och vilka system som vi bör utveckla respektive vilka system som vi bör undvika. En övergripande sluts
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det så kallade Chilenska ekonomiska undret under 1980- och 1990-talet är resultatet av en omfattande strukturförändring av den Chilenska ekonomin. I denna omvandling har jordbrukets modernisering och kapitalisering spelat en mycket viktig roll.Huvudfåran i den akademiska debatten har hittills huvudsakligen förklarat omvandlingen genom tillämpning av olika policy instrumThe so-called Chilean economic miracle during the 1980s and 1990s connotes not only high-speed economic growth but also a profound structural transformation of the Chilean economy. Most previous research ascribes growth and transformation to the liberalisation of markets and other neo-liberal policy instruments introduced after 1974. Policies, before as well as after 1974, have indeed been importa
This study presents GIS-based estimates of permafrost extent in the northern circumpolar region during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), based on a review of previously published maps and compilations of field evidence in the form of ice-wedge pseudomorphs and relict sand wedges. We focus on field evidence localities in areas thought to have been located along the past southern border of permafrost.
