Sea spray aerosols are ubiquitous over much of the Earth's surface and are especially important in remote regions with few other aerosol sources. As such, they may have a pronounced impact on climate through direct and indirect effects on the radiation budget.
Transition of cities towards carbon neutrality requires an improved understanding of the interlinkages between land-use and energy planning, and of the complexity of coupled socio-ecological processes, and feedbacks in urban-regional systems.
The Swedish island of Gotland faces limited capacity in groundwater reservoirs and increased demand during tourist season. Desalination from the Baltic Sea is a promising method for water supply which will benefit from a forecast of harmful algae blooms.

The polar regions are especially sensitive for climate change and the warming the Arctic is more than twice as fast as elsewhere on Earth. The effects of this warming are large, with a dramatic loss of sea ice as an example.
Two key parameters for studies of feedback in the climate system.
The project ARTofMELT (Atmospheric rivers and the onset of sea ice melt 2023) centers on an international interdisciplinary research expedition onboard the Swedish research icebreaker Oden to the central Arctic Ocean in May and June 2023.
BatMapper is a citizen science project to capture information on bats and their roosting locations in Sweden.
This project aims to further develop geochronological tools for dating Arctic Ocean sediments and has two main hypotheses:
CALIPSO is aimed at understanding the fate of future CO2 and climate change through a new representation of carbon loss pathways from plants, soils and ocean, by leveraging novel observations, theoretical understanding, machine learning tools and integration of processes with Earth system models.
Accelerating permafrost thaw in the Arctic drastically changes the ecosystem as a whole, which, in turn, impacts the everyday life of local communities and Indigenous populations. CAPES specifically focuses on the impact of climate change on populations living on permafrost in the Arctic using an ecosystem service approach.
Identifying refugia for retreating cold-favouring species
Over long timescales, the circulation systems co-evolve with ice sheets, mountain ranges, and redistributions of carbon in the climate system. Researcher study the circulation and associated feedback mechanisms that influence exchanges of energy and materials between compartments of the climate system, and create teleconnections and climate variability.
COASTAL is a unique collaboration between 29 partners from 8 EU Member States, representing entrepreneurs, administrations and scientific experts in coastal and rural enterprises who engage actors and stakeholders at all levels by combining local knowledge and scientific expertise in a co-creation process.
CoastClim is an interdisciplinary consortium of researchers and advanced research infrastructure that facilitates addresing questions regarding the links between coastal biodiversity and our climate. It brings together expertise in modelling, marine ecology, biogeochemistry and atmospheric research as well as policy analysis and communication from Stockholm University and University of Helsinki.
CRiceS - Climate Relevant interactions and feedbacks: the key role of sea ice and Snow in the polar and global climate system
The cryosphere and hydrosphere are among the most dynamic components of the Earth system. Interactions between them play a critical role in global climate such as influencing ocean current patterns through redistributing heat and salt.
The DeepWetland project aims to develop a machine learning (ML) platform to monitor water extent changes in wetlands by integrating multiple data sources from satellite images, radars, and other space sensors.
Soils can help mitigating climatic changes by storing carbon, but how much they can store depends on nutrient availability. Here we ask how soil organisms that facilitate carbon storage handle a diet poor in nutrients – releasing more or less carbon?
Grasslands are one of Earth's largest biomes, covering ca. 40% of the ice-free terrestrial surface. They play a vital role for many ecosystem services, such as food production, biodiversity, pollination and carbon storage.
