BECC researcher Johanna Alkan Olsson from Lund University was awarded 5 000 Euro for her project on algorithmic potato farming at Climate-KIC Nordic Ideation Day 27/1. The project will create a method for farmers to better handle outbreaks of late blight on crops, a disease expected to become more problematic in a changing climate. This was the second ever Climate-KIC Nordic Ideation Day and it wa

There is no evidence of any skewness that could be cowering up contradicting findings in scientific publications. BECC researcher Johan Hollander has published an article in Climatic Change where he, together with colleagues, examine 120 published articles in climate science from the period 1973 to 2013. In the study they find no evidence of skewness in the way the results are published.Read the p
