Brasiliens högsta domstol har i ett historiskt beslut röstat ner jordbrukslobbyns försök att begränsa ursprungsbefolkningens markrättigheter. Hållbarhetsforskaren Torsten Krause är försiktigt optimistisk till beslutet, som han menar är positivt för både mänskliga rättigheter och biologisk mångfald, men befarar att det kan medföra att avskogning och gruvdrift ökar i Brasiliens grannländer. – Det är

För omkring 540 miljoner år sedan uppstod plötsligt ett överflöd av liv i haven – en händelse som har kommit att kallas den kambriska explosionen. Länge var forskarna överens om att denna utveckling drevs av ökade syrenivåer i atmosfären. Men ny forskning av geobiologen Emma Hammarlund vid Lunds universitet vänder nu upp och ner på vad man trott varit sant i decennier. Hur hamnade hon på ett helt

Varför blev engångsplast så dominerande – och varför är det svårt att bli av med den? En ny avhandling tar ett historiskt grepp om plastens intåg i Sverige från sent 1940-tal, med start i Tetra Paks första mjölkförpackningar, självbetjäningsbutikerna och utvecklingen av det petrokemiska industriklustret i Stenungsund. – Det är jättesvårt att hantera all plast som vi använder idag.

The mass extinction at the end of the Triassic period, 201 million years ago, was caused by extensive volcanic eruptions and a rapidly warming climate as the then-supercontinent Pangaea began to break apart. Global temperatures rose by at least 3–4 degrees Celsius. A new study in Nature Geoscience shows that widespread forest fires raged across the fern savannahs that spread following the die-off
