LPJ-GUESS is an advanced ecosystem model, developed at Lund University, with a large community of international collaborators. The model is used to study how terrestrial ecosystems, from forests to croplands to tundra, develop over time and interact with climate, management and natural disturbances. It has been extensively used to study ecosystem carbon uptake, greenhouse gas emissions, species co

Luminescence dating is a geochronological technique that spans the Late Quaternary, and can be used in both geological and archaeological applications. It uses the natural emission of light from mineral grains (namely quartz and feldspar) to inform us about the age of events ranging from the deposition of beach sediments in storm events, change in climatic conditions, and the making of pottery and

The laboratory is one of the world’s leading laboratories for the recovery of microfossils and other acid-resistant particles. Through decades of continuous refinement and development, primarily by Professor Emeritus Lennart Jeppsson, we are able to process very large samples (up to more than 100 kg each) and get very concentrated sample residues that will significantly decrease picking time. We u
