Climate change, one of today’s most difficult challenges. The research follows two main tracks. Climate policy in a broader sense and the other one climate-biogeochemistry, particularly with regard to the emission of greenhouse gases.

The project develops new methods to improve the validation of greenhouse gas models and assessments. The focus is on creating cost-effective, mobile, and high-resolution methods for measuring greenhouse gas fluxes and land use.

Littoral zones influence carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions but are often overlooked. This project integrates them into lake carbon budgets using advanced measurement and modelling techniques.

Projektet utvecklar nya metoder för storskaliga växthusgasflödesmätningar med drönare, för att noggrant kvantifiera flöden av metan, lustgas och koldioxid. Detta möjliggör bättre bedömningar och reglering av klimatkänsliga utsläpp från landskap.

The project examines how declining sulfate deposition affects methane cycling in lakes, focusing on how sulfate reduction shifts microbial communities and impacts methane emissions through methanogenesis and methane oxidation.

Climate scenarios for limiting temperature rise well below 2°C rely heavily on bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). This project assesses the socio-political prospects for deploying BECCS at the scales suggested in the scenarios.

The aim of the research project is to better quantify and develop models to predict methane emissions from lakes.

This project aims to explore and analyse the relationship between ecocide and the complex system of environmental protection and policy, particularly in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Collaboration on the climate must build on those measures proposed under the new guidelines in the Paris Agreement 2015. In the project here, the climate policy measures of different states are compared and set in relation to their preconditions.

The UN climate politics encourage developing countries to, voluntarily, take on nationally appropriate mitigation actions. If needed, they can apply for international support. This project examines what it takes to improve the process.
