Ever wondered how research is done at sea? Our oceanography students get to learn about various instruments on a cruise with the research vessel Electra. Read the report here!
The ORIGIN sounding rocket project studies a light phenomenon (“airglow”) in the Earth's middle atmosphere. One sounding rocket will be launched from Esrange Space Center.
Research at MISU
Our scientists study the atmosphere, the oceans and the climate. You can find all information about our research on our research pages.
A sounding rocket will be launched Nov. 16–30 to study nightglow in Earth's atmosphere

Mapping Deep Ocean Currents: Uncovering the Hidden Pathways of Overflow Waters
The recent SWERVE funded FAROX cruise, led by Léon Chafik on RV Skagerak, set out to explore how dense overflow waters move between the Nordic Seas and the North Atlantic.
Earth's Energy Imbalance More Than Doubled in Recent Decades
Global warming stems from the difference between incoming solar and outgoing reflected and infrared radiation, causing energy buildup and climate impacts like rising temperatures and sea levels.
After a successful launch in November, the MATS satellite is now in orbit, and will collect data on waves in the upper parts of the atmosphere. Read all about the project here!
The ORIGIN sounding rocket project studies a light phenomenon in the Earth´s middle atmosphere called “airglow” (dayglow during the day; nightglow at night). Between November 16 and 30 (2025), one sounding rocket will be launched from Esrange Space Center in northern Sweden to investigate these emissions.
Stockholm University has been awarded another grant by the Swedish Research Council to recruit an international guest researcher, this time an atmospheric scientist.
Linus Magnusson from ECMWF, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, is appointed Adjunct Professor at MISU on 10 percent, from 1 September. He will e.g. supervise Master degree projects, do Arctic research related to forecast evaluation and model/observation improvements, support planning and forecasting during Arctic campaigns, and some preparation of course material.
Vicent Doñate Felip and Lorenzo Luca Donati are two of the five doctoral students from Stockholm University who participated in the research school on the icebreaker Oden in the Arctic, in August and September.
The Bolin Days is our annual internal conference for and by our Bolin Centre members. During these days, new climate science results are presented and we meet each other to exchange ideas, share our experiences and find new inspiration. We welcome you to take part in a set of cross-disciplinary sessions organized by our Research themes leaders.
