Earth and environmental sciences
Earth sciences include geochemistry, oceanography, hydrology and water resources etc. Environmental science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical, biological, social and information sciences to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems, such as climate research.
Geochemical laboratory
The laboratory works with chemical analyses of freshwater. We strive to make a good estimate of the actual concentrations of chemical substances in the environment and thereby gain knowledge of the
SLU Maps
Maps developed by SLU using data from our environmental monitoring and assessments. New maps are continuously added.
Forests
