Øystein Opedal was one of 494 European researchers to receive an ERC Starting Grant for his project “POLLCLIM: Plant adaptation in a changing pollination climate“. As Øystein is a member of BECC, we were curious to know a little bit more about his grant. The ERC Starting Grant is intended for early-career researchers and the only selection criterion is scientific excellence. After undergoing peer

A research team led by Lund University has developed an AI tool that traces back the most recent places you have been to. The tool acts like a satellite navigation system, but instead of guiding you to your hotel, it identifies the geographical source of microorganisms. This means you can use bacteria to determine whether someone has just been to the beach, got off the train in the city centre or

Forests have long been seen as a sink for greenhouse gases. Research conducted by scientists from University of Gothenburg has shown that over a forest rotation of 80 years, forest production on drained peat soil is a large source of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. BECC/MERGE researchers Hongxing He and Åsa Kasimir, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Gothenburg, are two of the authors

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms.
