Yet, flying was never an option. She has not flown once for work or privately in the last six years, a conscious decision she took to reduce her carbon footprint. Emma Kritzberg, professor at the Department of Biology, stepped

The internal combustion engine is a subject that has been described as nasty and outdated. In fact, it is not outdated at all – but an area of cutting-edge research that is an important part of a sustainable energy transition.

A three-kilometre-long cylinder of ice sheds light on what the climate was like one hundred thousand years ago. The ice contains traces of periods of higher or lower temperatures on Earth, but also of whether there were violent volcanic eruptions and high solar activity. By understanding the climate of the past, researchers can develop better models to predict the climate of the future. There are
