Ocean waves propel 'forever chemicals' back to land

A new study by researchers at the Department of Environmental Science, published in Science Advances, reveals that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) re-emit into the air from crashing ocean waves at levels comparable to or greater than other sources, establishing a cyclical transport process for these "forever chemicals" between land and sea.

Using AI to unveil harmful chemical substances

Tens of thousands of unknown chemicals surrounds us. Most are harmless, but some are harmful to our health and the environment. Anneli Kruve at Stockholm University has received a five-year EU grant to develop an AI model that can quickly determine which chemicals in a sample are potentially toxic.

PhD students connect coast and society in a changing climate

Solving complex questions about interactions between the sea and climate change, and how they relate to society, requires a broad set of skills. In a new research school, PhD students from diverse scientific disciplines at Stockholm University get a unique opportunity to learn how transdisciplinary approaches and research communication can lead to sustainable management of coastal environments.
