29 September 2026 08:30 to 16:30 | What makes a wetland thrive and what is the connection to climate? Is it carbon storage, clean water, climate and hydrological functions—or is it the diversity of plants, insects, fungi, birds and microorganisms that makes a wetland a living ecosystem? Join us for Thriving Wetlands, a day at SRC, to explore these and other questions, meet colleagues and discover

LPJ-GUESS is an advanced ecosystem model, developed at Lund University, with a large community of international collaborators. The model is used to study how terrestrial ecosystems, from forests to croplands to tundra, develop over time and interact with climate, management and natural disturbances. It has been extensively used to study ecosystem carbon uptake, greenhouse gas emissions, species co

Luminescence dating is a geochronological technique that spans the Late Quaternary, and can be used in both geological and archaeological applications. It uses the natural emission of light from mineral grains (namely quartz and feldspar) to inform us about the age of events ranging from the deposition of beach sediments in storm events, change in climatic conditions, and the making of pottery and
