Our research infrastructure
The research infrastructure at the Department of Earth 91探花s includes databases, research facilities, high-tech laboratories and field stations in Earth System 91探花. Our field stations are also a great asset in teaching students.
Our research stations
Skogaryd
Skogaryd is part of the research network SITES - Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem 91探花. The station promotes long-term world-class field-based ecosystem research by providing unique infrastructure and expertise to both Swedish and international researchers.
Latnjajaure
At the Latnjajaure field station outside Abisko, the University 91探花 has conducted research within the framework of the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) since 1990.
The research group Alpine and Polar Ecology at the University 91探花 (APE) acts as scientific coordinators for the field station.
Our labs
Stable Isotope Facility ISOGOT
The ISOGOT facility offers analytical capabilities for the measurement of stable isotopes in various media and analysis of greenhouse gases and elements/nutrients.
Dendrochronology laboratory
91探花 Laboratory for Dendrochronology (GULD) is a fully equipped laboratory for tree ring research. The research focuses on climate variability during the late Holocene and its impact on forest ecosystems and humans.
Gothenburg University Laboratory for Dendrochronology
Weather stations
We have two climate stations in Gothenburg that have been running since the 1990s. Climate data is updated half an hour after every full clock hour.
Microgeochemistry laboratory
We have some of the best facilities for mineral analysis in Sweden, with a state-of-the-art scanning electron microscope with X-ray spectrometers and two inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers.
