To ensure both patient safety and the student’s own health during clinical placements in Sweden, the following vaccinations, screenings, and health criteria apply. Prior to arrivalThe student will receive a Health Declaration Form, which must be completed by a physician or other healthcare professional and submitted at least two weeks before arrival. Note that the Health Declaration needs to be co
During the Orientation Weeks, usually on day 3, exchange students are invited to an introduction meeting at the International Office, BMC, in Lund. At the meeting you will fill out an enrollment form and some other paperwork depending on your study plan.Note! If you arrive for a short-term clinical placement during the semester, you will be invited to an introduction meeting in the week prior to c

MERGE is organised around research areas that collectively underpin a cohesive interdisciplinary research environment. The MERGE research areas are:Development, modelling and evaluation of climate-vegetation processes (RA1)Past variations in climate and vegetation (RA2)Vegetation, emissions and particles (RA3)Advanced statistics for model evaluation, simulation set-up and analysis (RA4)MERGE rese

RA1 focuses on the development of Earth system models and their application to learn about the character, scope and significance of feedback mechanisms linking the biosphere and atmosphere - both globally and in contrasting regions and climate zones of the world. The biosphere affects the energy balance and radiation retention of the atmosphere via biogeophysical and biogeochemical feedback mechan
MERGE involves staff from five Swedish universities and the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute. MERGE is a collaboration between Lund University, University of Gothenburg, Rossby Centre/SMHI, Chalmers University of Technology and Royal Institute of Technology. It involves more than 250 researchers, including senior scientists, young scientists and other contributing staff.Participat

RA2’s overall aim is to use empirical proxydata of past climate and land cover to evaluate and develop Earth system models and regional, coupled vegetation-climate models. The research also addresses the identification of underestimated or missing processes in Earth System Models. The spread of the temperature projections for the next century indicates a considerable uncertainty range for climate

The overall aim of RA3 is to formulate and validate a model framework - linking vegetation, aerosols, clouds and their climate feedbacks. To do this, we use a combination of laboratory studies, field studies and modelling. Aerosol particles and their role for clouds and climate is an important part of climate research and of huge importance for air quality around the world. The concept of short-li
