Geologists at Lund University in Sweden have mapped 300 years of research on the prehistoric marine reptiles known as ichthyosaurs. Using a uniquely well-preserved fossil, the team has also created the scientifically most up-to-date reconstruction of an ichthyosaur currently available. Fish lizards, or ichthyosaurs, were a very successful group of animals that, much like today's whales, migrated f

In the past, it has been common practice to perform analyses of archaeological sites after excavations have been completed and covered again with soil. But with the revolutionary development of digital technologies, we can now identify archaeological information that was previously invisible to the naked eye. “As I dig, I am also destroying. Archaeologists must document it before. But with 3D docu

Gaining access to Brief Admission by self-referral reduced the need for emergency care in adolescents with severe self-harm. The method has previously been introduced for adults, and a study led by researchers from Lund University has now explored whether the method could also be used for children and young people. The results are published in The Lancet Psychiatry. Most children and young people
Sweden’s industry uses about one third of the country’s entire energy consumption. How can industry convert to a better considered and sustainable circular economy? Researchers at Lund University are working closely with companies to find smarter solutions that focus on improving sustainability in materials recycling.

Archaeologist Greer Jarrett at Lund University in Sweden has been sailing in the footsteps of Vikings for three years. He can now show that the Vikings sailed farther away from Scandinavia, and took routes farther from land, than was previously believed to have been possible. In his latest study, he has found evidence of a decentralised network of ports, located on islands and peninsulas, which pr

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

Symptoms for patients with the gastrointestinal disease IBS improved as much by eating less sugar and starch as for those who followed FODMAP – the diet currently recommended to patients. The results, presented in a new study from Lund University in Sweden, also show that weight loss is greater and sugar cravings are reduced among those who follow the starch and sucrose-reduced diet.
