Societal impacts of sea level rise induced erosion in southern Sweden (SISLER)
Sea level rise is a key effect of modern climate change.The Skåne coastline is uniquely sensitive within Sweden to sea level rise because it is mostly formed of sediments and its l...
Predicting climate impacts on groundwater and pore pressure levels for the built environment (PIGALL)
Climate change is expected to have a significant impact on groundwater- and pore pressure conditions and, as a result, on geotechnical structures that support buildings, infrastruc...
Coastal Adaptation through flexible land-use (COALA)
COALA (Coastal adaptation through flexible land-use) challenges incremental climate adaptation of the coast by shifting the focus to transformative adaptation.This will be done by...
Molecular analysis of leukemia mediated alternations in normal blood cell development .
This project aims to investigate the tumor host interphase with the intention to understand how malignant cells modify normal blood cell production in Acute B-lymphoid Leukemia (B-...
SPARC: Stakeholder participation for climate adaptation - data crowdsourcing for improved urban flood risk management
Urban flooding causes large societal damages and necessitates increased climate adaptation measures. The rapid and local character of extreme rain events make them difficult to obs...
Buildings Post Corona
The overall purpose of the proposed research is to support the building sector for future scenarios of impending climate change; to design, build and operate buildings that are hea...
DRASTIC: Static and dynamic flood risk assessment in Sweden under climate change
Sweden has both snow and rain dominated hydrological regions, with fundamentally different response to global warming.Today, the main source of information is the flood risk mappin...
How prepared are Swedish detached houses to adapt to Climate Change?
One of the key objectives of the Swedish national climate adaptation strategy is to improve municipalities’ preparedness for climate change to mitigate or adapt the climate-related...
Advancing knowledge and tools for the adaptation of Swedish cities to heat (project BRIGHT)
Increasing temperatures present significant challenges to cities, amplified by built-up surfaces, urban heat islands and densely populated areas.The impacts of the record hot summe...
Sustainable trees to promote sustainable cities in a changing climate
The urban forest contributes to numerous ecosystem services, most of which rely on large and healthy trees. It is therefore important to plant species that can handle the challengi...
BlueGreen Infrastructure for a Sustainable Climate Adaptation of the Future City
Climate change combined with increasing urbanisation and conventional “grey” infrastructure results in numerous challenges.Ecosystem-based adaptation using Blue-Green infrastructur...
Landscape management in the Wildland-Urban Interface to reduce future wildfire vulnerability for communities. What are the barriers to change?
Climate change studies for northern Europe point to an increased number of days with high wildfire danger in the near future.Wildfires have the last decades already severely challe...
Improving sustainability in urban development by recognising the carbon costs of urban trees
In sustainable development, nature based solutions are recognized as important to meet challenges of extensive urbanization and climate change.In this context, urban trees are emph...
Quantification of the impact of climate change on the built environment at regional scale
Our built environment is founded on soils and rocks, with engineering properties affected by the geological and anthropological history, as well as environmental conditions. Conseq...
Resilient stormwater management in a changing climate - optimizing gully pots
In our built environment, the stormwater runoff from roads must be handled to prevent flooding as climate changes causes increased precipitation.All over a city, stormwater from ro...
Extracellular Vesicles as mediators for intracellular delivery of macromolecules using engineered cells
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as novel vectors for the delivery of macromolecular drugs. However, EVs have undesirable features, such as a short half-life in circulatio...
Between liberal norms and authoritarian governance: women’s organizations as peacebuilders in illiberal post-war states
In international peacebuilding policy, women’s organizations are represented as especially important civil society partners in the pursuit of peace.However, while existing literatu...
Reed for feed – harvesting reed for ecosystem restoration, feed for livestock and recycling of nutrients
Reed is an essential habitat for fish and birds in Swedish lakes and coastal areas, but due to eutrophication and reduced grazing, reed belts have spread over large homogeneous are...
MUST DEFINE: Using a MUltiple STakeholder Dialog and Experiments to reFINE the Swedish Strategic Management Objectives for forest buffers along streams
In 2013, the forest sector’s first Strategic Management Objectives (SMOs) for environmental consideration were published.In respect to water protection, the SMOs specify six ecosys...
Sustainable management of Amazon forest: a win-win for resource utilization and climate mitigation
Sustainable logging of the Amazon forest by the local population has proven effective in limiting deforestation.Managed logging of three tree species of economic value at Mamiraua...
