Lundaforskare har tagit fram en modell som från rymdobservationer kan beräkna enskilda länders koldioxidutsläpp. De nya resultaten kan bli användbara i arbetet med de satelliter som EU de kommande åren ska skicka iväg inom jordövervakningsprogrammet Copernicus. Vid klimattoppmötet COP26 enades världens länder om ett nytt dokument som för första gången nämner avveckling av kol och fossila bränslen.

Vad äter tumlare i svenska vatten? I en ny studie tar forskare från Lunds universitet hjälp av dna-teknik för att kartlägga den lilla valens mångfacetterade matvanor. Torskfiskar, sillfiskar och smörbultar toppar tumlarens meny, men den trubbnosiga tandvalen verkar inte särskilt kräsen. En ny studie visar att tumlare i svenska vatten äter uppemot 40 olika bytesarter – från centimeterstora bottenfi
