Climate research
Climatology or climate research is the study of climate, scientifically defined as weather conditions averaged over a period of time. This modern field of study is regarded as a branch of the atmospheric sciences and a subfield of physical geography, which is one of the Earth sciences.
Researchers
Ulf Skyllberg – Professor My current research is focused on improving our understanding of factors and processes in the control of mercury (Hg) transformations in soils and waters, such as the
Forest landscape biogeochemistry
Forest landscape biogeochemistry includes the hydrology and biogeochemistry of forests, wetlands and surface waters and the speciation, mobility and bioavailability of carbon, nutrients and metals.
Silviculture
The subject area silviculture covers research on short- and long-term effects of silvicultural systems, forest operations and strategies on set targets for forest management, with a focus on northern
