Permafrost-biogeochemistry-climate Interactions
Research subject
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.
Permafrost peatlands under climate warming pressure
Research project
Peatlands cover vast areas in the permafrost region and store large amounts of soil organic carbon. In a future warmer climate, permafrost thaw will probably lead to a positive climate feedback due to increased emissions of greenhouse gases when more organic matter becomes available for decay.
Permafrost thaw (ILLUQ)
Research project
The aim of this project is to provide a holistic understanding of permafrost thaw, pollution, and human and environmental well-being in the Arctic.

Peter Brzezinski's research group
Research group
We use time-resolved spectroscopic techniques to study each component of the respiratory chain of aerobic bacteria - assemblies of components and intact mitochondrial membranes. A long-term goal is to visualize the dynamic processes of respiration in 3D - to reconstruct “molecular movies” showing functional dynamics of complex molecular machines in action.
PGA group
Research group
Stereoselective synthesis is a crucial process in organic chemistry and is extremely important in the field of pharmaceuticals, as the different enantiomers or diastereomers of a molecule often have different biological activity.

Philosophy of Language
Research subject
Philosophy of language studies the nature of language, its use in communication, its relation to thought and the world. Investigations range widely: from foundational questions concerning the constitution of linguistic meaning, the development of formal semantics for artificial or natural languages, the pragmatics of language use and its social significance.
Philosophy of Mind
Research subject
Philosophy of mind investigates a broad set of questions concerning the mind and its nature. One set of issues relates to the so called mind-body problem. This includes research on the nature of consciousness, its relation to the brain and to behavior.
Philosophy of Science
Research subject
Stockholm University has a strong standing in the philosophy of science. It takes a meta-level look at the scientific process and asks questions such as: how does the scientific process work? In which sense and on what grounds can scientific investigations be successful? What is the relation between scientific results and truth?
