Heatwaves and dry summer seasons have turned the Mediterranean basin into a global wildfire hotspot. In the summers of 2021 and 2022, wildfires raged across all of the Mediterranean, with devastating loss of lives, livelihoods, infrastructure and more than 620,000 ha forest area. LUCSUS researchers have studied barriers for collective action in preventing, responding, and adapting to fires, and ma

To find out why so many people have left their farms in north-eastern Syria, physical geographer Lina Eklund uses both satellite data and interviews. ‟It is important to understand what can be linked to climate change and what are societal factors, so that we can better equip ourselves for the future.” Lina Eklund has specialised in remote sensing, which enables her to determine what happens over

During the summer, Kristina Lång's research received a lot of attention in the media, nationally as well as internationally. The study showed that AI-assisted breast cancer screening is a safe alternative to radiologists' double-reading, reducing the workload of the overburdened profession by as much as 44 percent. We asked Kristina Lång about her experiences. Also, tips on how to increase outreac

AI, artificial intelligence, is trendy. But where does the boundary go between humankind and machine and what should we use AI for? “It’s time to ask ourselves what humankind possesses that machines do not. How can they complement each other, rather than compete?” asks philosopher Jonna Bornemark. Will your future colleagues have human intelligence – or perhaps artificial? It may sound like a stra

The results of the election in September may have an impact on academic freedom and the independence of universities from political power. The principle of keeping an arm's length between politics and higher education and research is increasingly being called into question. “I think we are currently in a situation in which the most important thing is not for universities to receive more money, but

The UNFCCC climate meeting COP27 is less than a week away. With evidence growing that green house gas emissions are making extreme events occur more frequently, and with greater intensity, loss and damage has emerged as one of the most important topics at the meeting. Developing countries and civil society are mobilizing for compensation, and are demanding that pulluters pay. LUCSUS professor, and

My recent research trip to Amazon, Colombia was a stark reminder that sustainability science is as much about being at the forefront of knowledge as it is about physically visiting man-made frontiers and conflict areas. I think this has to do with the importance to connect with local communities and people and try to understand how they see the world, what problems they have identified and want a

When we think of dinosaurs, we often imagine majestic giants that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. But even these ancient creatures were not immune to diseases familiar to humans today, such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is relatively rare in today’s wild mammals (less than 1%) but is not uncommon in domestic or working animals like dogs and horses, as well as in birds, with a prevalence

Triple negative breast cancer is an aggressive type of cancer representing approximately nine percent of all breast cancer cases in Sweden. It is more common among younger women, has a high heredity factor and causes more frequent relapses earlier in the course of the disease than other breast cancers. Researchers have applied full genome sequencing to carry out detailed mapping of genetic mutatio
