The ECo-Series provides a forum for discussing scientific issues of societal relevance, sharing new and innovative techniques, and for interacting with other scientists, stakeholders and policy makers. Our aim is to provide entertaining, educational, and provocative events which foster discussion and creativity both within and outside of the Department.

Genotoxicity of nanomaterials
Nano sized materials have unique characteristics that facilitate new technical applications but may also render them more toxic than similar materials of larger particle size. The small size of nano materials can be expected to result in increased surface reactivity, improved uptake to cells and cell nuclei, interference with macromolecules in nano size, enhanced production of reactive oxygen species, and …

Marine biogenic sea spray aerosol as seeds of ice in clouds
The formation of ice in clouds is fundamentally important to life on our planet since clouds play a key role in climate and hydrological cycle. Despite the significance of ice formation, our quantitative understanding of sources, properties, mode of action and transport of Ince-Nucleating Particles (INP) is poor. In order to improve our representation of clouds in models we need …

The Influence Machine
On October 20th, Tony Ourslers video installation “The Influence Machine” will be shown outdoors at Frescati campus. In this work, Tony Oursler uses the landscape as a stage, images, accompanied by music, are projected onto clouds of smoke, trees, and nearby buildings. The event is organised by Stockholm University in collaboration with Magasin III Musem and the Foundation for Contemporary …

Världspremiär för film om polarforskning
Under Forskardagarna är det världspremiär för filmen om den internationella forskningsexpeditionen SWERUS-C3 till Arktis. Forskarna undersöker den metan som ligger bunden i permafrost och gashydrater i de svårtillgängliga öst-sibiriska grundhaven och avslöjar den arktiska havsisens historia. Filmen presenteras av Nina Kirchner, deltagare i expeditionen, docent i glaciologi och vetenskaplig föreståndare för Bolincentret för klimatforskning. “Minnen från expeditioner till så avlägsna …

GoAmazon 2014/15 Experiment: From Biogenic air pollution and aerosol processing
The GoAmazon 2014/15 experiment (Observations and Modeling of the Green Ocean Amazon) was a great opportunity to study how urbanisation can change aerosol properties under pristine conditions in a tropical rain forest. The experiment too place rom January 2014 to December 2015 in the vicinity of Manaus, Brazil, where seven sampling stations were operated. Properties analysed were size distribution, organic …
