Earlier this spring, MERGE researchers gathered in Stockholm with their European colleagues to plan the final developments of the EC-Earth4 climate model that will underpin the next report of the IPCC, expected in 2028. The EC-Earth consortium, started in 2006, is a European consortium of national meteorological services and research institutes. From its original model it has been developed in thr

How can artificial intelligence help us better predict the future of our planet? That was the central question when researchers from across Europe gathered at Lund University earlier this summer for the second full consortium meeting of AI4PEX—a four-year Horizon Europe research project focused on improving Earth System Models (ESMs) using the latest AI methods. Organised by the Max Planck Institu
Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere vary naturally between ice ages and interglacial periods. A new study by researchers and BECC and MERGE-members at the University of Gothenburg and Lund University, among others, shows that an unexpectedly large proportion of carbon dioxide emissions after the ice age may have come from thawing permafrost. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere vary natural

By combining satellite data, mathematical and statistical ecosystem modeling, and artificial intelligence, it is now possible to generate earlier and more reliable crop yield forecasts—an essential step toward ensuring future food security in a changing climate. This is demonstrated in a new doctoral thesis by Xueying Li, PhD at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, and membe

By analysing over 100,000 field measurements as well as environmental data, an international research team has created maps that show how and when naturally regrowing forests bind most carbon. To fulfil climate goals and avoid the most serious consequences of global heating, we need to both reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and remove carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere. Naturally
