As a continuation of the governmental funding of strategic Baltic Sea research, this interdisciplinary network of young Baltic Sea, Baltic Sea Fellows, formed at Stockholm University 2018. Their research cover the whole range from basic marine research to applied legal aspects and decision support.

Over long timescales, the circulation systems co-evolve with ice sheets, mountain ranges, and redistributions of carbon between the atmosphere, ocean and land. The circulation and associated feedbacks influence exchanges of energy and materials between compartments of the climate system, and create teleconnections and natural climate variability.

We do research on arthropod ecology and evolution, with a particular focus on trophic interactions.

Our research focuses on the climatic and landscape processes that govern bat populations.

Glaciology with emphasis on climate

Past and present grasslands influence plant species richness and diversity

By using geodetic methods to measure or infer hydrological quantities and their changes over time, Hydrogeodesy supports hydrological monitoring, management, and research via measurements that standard hydrological observations cannot obtain.

Our research focuses on landscape patterns, climate and land use influence ecological processes, biodiversity and ecosystems.

Volcanic ashes (tephra) buried in sediments or glacier ice are a useful material for geochronological applications. At Stockholm University, tephrochronology has been used in geological research over the course of the last few decades.

In the North Atlantic, a mighty current system conveys, via the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Current, warm surface waters to northerly subpolar areas where deep water is formed. This current system, which is an important link in the global ocean circulation connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, also carries warm Atlantic water into the Arctic Ocean.
