Dmytro Perepolkin

My PhD project aims to contribute to the field of environmental decision making under uncertainty. This interdisciplinary work will bring together environmental psychology, economics, ecological modeling, public management, risk analysis and statistics to inform public policy and provide clarity of action in human-environment conflicts.

Hanna Ekström

As part of Green Forests policies: a comparative assessment of outcomes and trade-offs across Fenno-Scandinavia’ (GreenPole, 2021-2025), I use agent-based modelling to analyze past and future land use changes in Nordic forests. The PhD position is a collaboration between Centre for Environmental and Climate Science and Political Science at Lund University.

Jesica Murcia López

The main focus of my PhD project is the study of conflicts and synergies between societal demands of the increased agricultural expansion of cattle production in the northwest of the Amazon region of Colombia together with GIS tools to enforce policy schemes that ensure pathways to reduce the alarming deforestation and loss of biodiversity in this part of the Amazon region.

Jessica Jennerheim

I work with circular use of construction materials and their relations to environmental risks and End-of-Waste criteria. During my PhD I will focus on studying the impact that reuse of slightly contaminated construction materials would have on the environment with particular focus on ground dwelling organisms.

Melanie Karlsson

In my PhD I’m investigating the constraints of plant organic farming. I am especially interested in how the composition of the landscape around farms affects their yield and success in organic farming, and how this is affected by biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Sofia Blomqvist

In my PhD project, I will investigate how flower rich road verges are affecting our pollinating insects. Can they help our insects or are they posing a threat by acting as ecological traps? The aim is to find features in road verges and ways to manage these in order to help our pollinators.

Theresia Krausl

Pollination processes are at the heart of well-functioning and resilient ecosystems, yet pollinators are currently facing multiple threats. My aim is to contribute to a deeper understanding and effective mitigation of disruptions within the intricate plant-pollinator networks in semi-natural grasslands.
