Here you will find information about our research, our researchers and their publications.

Research at MISU

Our scientists study the atmosphere, the oceans and the climate. You can read more about our research subjects here.

Expeditions, satellites and climate models

These are some of the tools that our scientists use to produce new knowledge. You can read more about how we collect data for our research here.

Hilding Sundqvist in memoriam

Professor emeritus Hilding Sundqvist has passed away in Rättvik at the age of 90. Hilding worked at MISU for most of his career. At first as a research assistant and a PhD student, later as an associate professor and full professor. Hilding’s research area was dynamic meteorology with emphasis on cloud physics and numerical modeling.

Armada of icebergs in the Victoria Fjord during GEOEO

August 28, 2024, Johan Nilsson. We have now completed our exploration of the Victoria Fjord. Oden only managed to get 30 km into the 70 km long fjord. At that point the concentration of enormous icebergs became so dense that further progress was impossible.

Arctic beauty at the Victoria Fjord during the GEOEO expedition

August 20, 2024, Johan Nilsson. For the last few days, Oden has been operating just outside the Victoria Fjord. The setting is beautiful and dramatic.

GEOEO expedition now at 82 degrees north

August 15, 2024, Johan Nilsson. We have now reached deep into the Arctic and are at 82 degrees north, just off the coast of Greenland. Currently, we are at the entrance to the Sherard Osborne Fjord, which Oden visited in 2019.
