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.

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?

Exploring Causes of Species and Trait Alterations in Terrestrial ecosystems: Impacts and Consequences

Forests are natural air conditioners: During hot and dry periods, they can cool the understory and all life below the canopy by shading the ground and evaporating water. However, this climate buffering capacity is under threat.

The flow of water in river and stream networks is dramatically affected by human activities, with important deleterious implications for coastal ecosystems.

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's call "Indicators for biodiversity at landscape level" aims to increase our knowledge about the effects of fragmentation on biological diversity, important ecological structures, functions at a landscape level and proposals on how this can be measured.

Global climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. Utilizing the carbon-lowering capacity of global soils has great potential to mitigate such changes.

Peatlands cover vast areas in the permafrost region and store large amounts of soil organic carbon. In a future warmer climate, permafrost thaw will probably lead to a positive climate feedback due to increased emissions of greenhouse gases when more organic matter becomes available for decay.

Evolution has shaped how soil microbes live and thus how much greenhouse gases and useful nutrients they produce. We will integrate this idea in new mathematical models to quantify land use and climate effect on soil fertility and carbon storage.

The project develops a new methodology based on current and future space missions to track hidden changes in wetland water level, extent, storage, and connectivity, and untangle the links between the human and climate drivers of change.

This project is performed in collaboration between the Geological Survey of Sweden and researchers at the Linnaeus University and Stockholm University to evaluate and develop a spatial model for the occurrence of acid sulphate soils.
