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.

In times of runaway climate change, phasing out fossil fuels and increasing the share of renewables is imperative. But this transition is not without pitfalls as shown by a recent study of two large renewable projects in Iceland by LUCSUS researcher Henner Busch and Wim Carton. The recent IPCC report has made it clear that we need to change our energy supply from fossils to renewable energy if we

A new study may have uncovered why wall lizards have become the most successful reptile in the Mediterranean region. The results reveal how drastic changes in sea levels and climate 6 million years ago affected species formation in the area. The researchers believe they can now explain why the lizards became so diverse and widespread, something that has puzzled biologists since the 19th century. T

– Hjärtat är byggt runt vätskan det innehåller, blodet. Det är vätskans egenskaper som avgör hur stort hjärtat blir. Det säger Håkan Arheden, professor i klinisk fysiologi vid Lunds universitet, som med magnetkamera visat virvlarna i hjärtat på tredimensionell film. Att muskulatur påverkas av belastning är välkänt. Den som är länge sängliggande tappar muskler, medan den som går på gym får större m
