Emissions of methane from lakes and reservoirs risk doubling by the end of the century due to climate change according to a new study from LiU and NASA. This in turn could raise Earth’s temperature more than suggested by current worst-case scenario.
For the first time, LiU has conducted an evaluation of all research – its quality, the culture, and the conditions for further development. The evaluation has been carried out through self-evaluation and external review by experts.
The sperm is not a passive supplier of genetic material to the egg. A study shows that certain molecules that come with the sperm, so-called micro-RNA, contribute to the development of the embryo several days after conception.
In the shadow of rockets, satellites and billionaires’ space projects, a new field of research is emerging. It is about understanding space also as an arena for culture, politics and ethics.
