Marine coastal ecosystems are severely threatened by the negative effects of climate change. At the same time, they are very important for climate change mitigation since they can store large amounts of carbon, and help sustain both life under water, and people’s livelihoods. LUCSUS is part of the four-year EU funded project Marine Coastal Ecosystem Biodiversity and Services in a Changing world.

What works well and what doesn’t in your workplace? In 2024, we will have the chance to express views on issues related to the work environment by playing the OSA game. So far, the OSA game has helped us identify the need for support for managers and also the most common types of work environment problems in the organization. This has allowed us to prioritise areas where we need to focus our effor

Nowadays, a photograph taken by a normal mobile phone camera is almost 2 MB in size. It is therefore possible to imagine the huge quantities of data produced by scanners that take thousands of three-dimensional images of a single body part or tissue sample. Freddy Ståhlberg shows how data from the forthcoming national 7 Tesla MRI scanner will be managed. The data will be collected at LU, but can t

We know that noise affects our ability to learn as well as generating irritation and stress. This, in turn, reduces efficiency and well-being in the workplace. Some research findings indicate that workplace efficiency could increase by as much as 50% with the right sound environment.     Memory researchers and cognitive scientists have conducted a lot of research into how the sound environment aff

Can a reduced intake of gluten during childhood affect the development of coeliac disease (gluten intolerance)? Researchers at Lund University will investigate this question in the new study GRAIN (Gluten Reduction After INfancy and the risk of celiac disease). – We’ve seen in previous studies that the amount of gluten you eat plays a role in the risk of getting sick. In GRAIN, we want to see if w

Giving up research has never been an option for Ronald Kröger, professor in biology with a specialisation in fish lenses and dog noses. “I conduct research with all of my heart!” He is, however, at least as dependent on his brain – and it has really suffered. It is nearly five years since the Saturday morning when Ronald Kröger woke up and thought he was getting a cold or flu. It did not stop him

After a series of studies, researchers at Lund University in Sweden, together with colleagues in Italy, have shown that not only one part, but most parts of the brain can be involved in processing the signals that arise from touch. The results open the way for a new approach to how the brain’s network of neurons processes information, and thereby the mechanisms by which the brain works First publi

I samband med en ny rapport kring åtgärder som ska begränsa klimatförändringarna ser forskare vid Lunds universitet vissa hoppfulla tecken. Bland annat tror Lars J Nilsson, professor i miljö- och energisystem vid LTH, att det finns goda möjligheter att år 2050 nå nollutsläpp för industrier som stål, cement och kemi – där utsläppen av koldioxid idag är stora. För att nå klimatmålen måste utsläppen
