Climate, environment and sustainability are important research fields at Stockholm University. On this page we have gathered all our research project connected to this area.
Aerosols, Clouds and Climate
To understand the trajectories of the changing climate, much of our current research focuses on atmospheric particulate matter, a key component of the Earth's energy budget.
Acquiring the knowledge for maintaining and improving air quality is one of the critical environmental challenges of the future as it is estimated that poor air quality causes several million premature deaths each year.
Studying climate and climate change involves exploring long-term patterns and variations in weather conditions over time and in different places of the Earth.
The Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP; northern Pakistan, N. India and Bangladesh) as well as the eastern corridor of China are two examples of hotspot regions with massive anthropogenic effects on public health and climate with a myriad of cascading effects on other environmental systems.
The Arctic is warming 3-4 times faster than the global average and already now shows rapid thaw of land and subsea permafrost, vegetation shifts, increased coastal erosion, sea ice decline and changes in ocean currents.
