Lake shore drones revealing the climate impact of lakes
Lake shore areas have long been difficult to explore and have therefore often been left out of carbon budget calculations. Drones are now being used as a tool to map these shoreline zones. The models being developed may yield entirely new insights into the role of lakes in carbon storage and greenhouse-gas emissions.
Origins of building blocks of life in the universe
Wallenberg Scholar Susanne Höfner intends to use new high-resolution images to develop 3D models showing how cosmic dust is created by stars and ejected into space.
The first buds of spring – one of nature’s great mysteries
Rishikesh Bhalerao aims to solve one of nature’s great mysteries: how do plants, without a brain or a nervous system, interpret and respond to the noisy world around them?
Investigating methane – a gas that could decide our future climate
As Arctic permafrost thaws, emissions of methane – a potent greenhouse gas – are rising. Örjan Gustafsson and his colleagues at Stockholm University are now investigating methane emissions from permafrost in the Arctic seabed. Their findings will provide a clearer picture of the global methane balance – and help societies to prepare for an increasingly vulnerable climate.
