Since April, the second part of a sustainable mobility project, which is to examine all staff and students’ travel habits to and from campus, has been underway. The aim of the project is to reduce the negative impact of our travel to and from work/studies on sustainability and the environment. Lund University currently has around 8,000 employees and 46,000 students, which means a lot of people tra

In her research, she searches for facts about underground water and its age in order to investigate and minimise the risk of pollution in groundwater. She is very concerned about insufficient monitoring of water quality by Swedish authorities. Senior le

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes

There is a well-known relationship between socioeconomic status and health, where people with lower socioeconomic status generally tend to have worse health and increased mortality. In a new dissertation, doctoral student Maria Lindéus at the Department of Clinical Epidemiology at Lund University examines the relationship between socioeconomic status and outcomes related to bone fractures and oste

The world's largest bird, the ostrich, has problems reproducing when the temperature deviates by 5 degrees or more from the ideal temperature of 20 °C. The research, from Lund University in Sweden, is published in Nature Communications. The results show that the females lay up to 40 per cent fewer eggs if the temperature has fluctuated in the days before laying eggs. Both male and female productio

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

Astronomers at Lund University in Sweden have found a group of stars in the Milky Way disk, that are most likely remnants from an unknown baby galaxy that was swallowed by the Milky Way over 10 billion years ago. Nothing like it has been discovered in the galaxy disk before. After the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, space was a veritable Wild West. Stars formed inside huge gas clouds that collide

If you have ever sniffed yourself dizzy at a perfume counter, you have perhaps also come across claims that pH values, fragrance notes and pheromones affect the scent.
