We analyze how the landscape is affected by glaciers and ice sheets to reconstruct environments and processes to understand future changes in a local to global perspective.
We investigate hydrological processes in water and land environments, the anthropogenic effects and their variability and change, to the knowledge needed for sustainable development.
We study changes in climate and the environment, both back in time and current conditions. Through climate models we also simulate future climate and environmental changes.
We research landscape ecology, environment, biodiversity and ecosystem services across parts of the world to understand interactions between humans, nature and climate.
Navarino Environmental Observatory is an international hub where science, business, society and policy makers join to create a more sustainable future for the Mediterranean region.
Meadowland and pasture are sometimes referred to the tropical rainforests of the Nordic region, as they contain such a great abundance of species. Researchers see a decline in biodiversity on farms where livestock receive concentrates instead of free-range grazing. Regina Lindborg carries out research into ways in which farming that preserves biodiversity can be pursued.
The last remaining habitats for wildlife are becoming smaller and more fragmented as human land use is steadily increasing. This affects large mammals such as elephants and lions that require huge habitats to roam in. Anna Treydte’s research focuses on how humans and wildlife can coexist.
Two scientific articles bring a better understanding of the spatial variability of soil organic carbon in the Arctic permafrost region. One article published in Global Biogeochemical Cycles led by Umeå researcher Matthias Siewert, and with Gustaf Hugelius as co-author, is describing how permafrost and periglacial landforms cause a unique variability in Arctic soils. A second article in Science Advances provides a new map for the soil organic carbon stored in the circumpolar permafrost region.
