Critical situation for sharks, rays and chimaeras - new global report shows the way forward

IUCN has released a global report, Global Status of Sharks, Rays and Chimaeras, that highlights new knowledge compiled by 353 experts from 115 countries, including researchers from SLU. The report stresses the urgent need to address overfishing and bycatch of sharks, rays and chimaeras in all countries.

The future for the Norway Spruce

Norway spruce has been present in Sweden for a very long time, but is now struggling with the changing climate. With the help of DNA analysis, breeders can check already in seedlings which characteristics were passed on from the parents. In this way, they can speed up the breeding process to identify those trees that are best adapted to the future climate.

The application for degree programmes commencing in autumn 2025 is now open!

The first step is to find your programme on our website. SLU offers a variety of international Master's programmes and one international Bachelor's programme.
