Ancient groundwater linked to early climate change
A recent study offers new insights into the role of ancient groundwater beneath the ocean floor, and how it interacted with ice sheets and rising sea levels during past climate changes.
Researchers have identified a shipwreck off Porkkala in the Gulf of Finland as the warship Falken. The ship was built for King Gustav II Adolf. It played a central role in the Swedish navy.
Norwegian lemming one of the youngest mammal species
Using whole genome sequencing and cutting-edge analyses researchers at Stockholm University have uncovered the surprising evolutionary history of the Norwegian lemming.
The expedition Arctic Ocean 2025, with the research school on the Arctic climate system, is now well under way. We left Longyearbyen last Sunday August 10 under clear-blue skies and sunshine and this stayed with us through yesterday. Late last night we saw the first ice rather far north, and now were continuing north in ice and fog, as is usual along the ice edge this time of the year.
Anomalies in temperature and salinity that originate in the midlatitude North Atlantic can affect the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in the Nordic Seas up to a decade later. The study published in Nature’s journal Communications Earth & Environment shows that the anomalies that travel northward with the Atlantic Water are an important part of the system, and actively modulate both the inflow of warm water into the Nordic Seas and the overflow of dense water back into the deep Atlantic.
Tuesday August 19, Elin Holmén, specialist nurse in psychiatry and a PhD candidate at Karolinska Institutet, will give a seminar in the Department of Public Health Sciences at Stockholm University's seminar series PHS Talks.
