The power behind big data: high-performance computing in environmental toxicogenomics

What happens when cutting-edge biology meets powerful computing? At the Department of Environmental Science, researchers are harnessing the power of high-performance computing (HPC) to investigate how pollution leaves its mark—not only on individuals, but on future generations.

Investigation of deep water currents in the North Atlantic, to see how they affect the climate

Léon Chafik, Stockholm University, and Fabien Roquet, Gothenburg University, will investigate deep water currents in the North Atlantic on 2–16 July 2025. During the expedition they will make measurements in two important sea passages: the Faroe-Shetland Channel and the ridge between the Faroe Islands and Iceland.
