MSc. Project Opportunity – Toxicity Testing of PFAS Leachates

The Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences (DEEP) at Stockholm University is a multidisciplinary research environment where ecologists, toxicologists, and environmental chemists collaborate to address urgent sustainability challenges. We are currently offering an exciting MSc. thesis project within the research project “Immobilization of PFAS in landfills using activated biochars (ABC)”, funded by the TUFFO programme.

Sheltered bays are significant carbon sinks in the Baltic Sea

Coastal zones are identified as important natural carbon sinks globally, especially habitats with abundant vegetation such as seagrass meadows and mangrove areas. In brackish environments like the Baltic Sea, knowledge of carbon sequestration in coastal habitats is limited, but a new study shows that shallow and partly enclosed Baltic bays are significant sinks for carbon and nutrients.
