Climate Science and Quaternary Geology

We study changes in climate and the environment, both back in time and current conditions. Through climate models we also simulate future climate and environmental changes.

Geomorphology and Glaciology

By analyzing landscape elements, we can reconstruct environments and processes that previously worked in the landscape, and we have a special focus on areas that are or have been covered by glaciers and ice sheets.

Water, Permafrost and Environmental systems

We investigate hydrological processes in water and land environments, the anthropogenic effects on these processes and their variability and change, both in time and space, to contribute to the knowledge and capacity advancement needed for sustainable development.
