Research facilities
BECC researchers are active in using research infrastructure, some of which is partly or fully financed by BECC.
Some examples of the research infrastructure that is available to our researchers are listed below.
DataGURU
DataGURU is a tool for researchers to disseminate and find data on climate, land use, biodiversity and related areas. It is easy to test hypothesis to see if there are correlations between a changing climate, and changes in biodiversity, populations etcetera. The tool is easy tool to use for those who do not normally work with climate data, and researchers within biology can greatly benefit from DataGURU.
ICOS Sweden
ICOS Sweden is a national research infrastructure, operating stations for greenhouse gas measurements in Sweden.
MAX IV, Lund
MAX IV Laboratory is a Swedish national laboratory providing scientists with high-quality X-ray light for research in materials and life science. Lund University is the host university.
Skogaryd Research Catchment – a part of SITES (Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science)
The Skogaryd Research Catchment (SRC) addresses questions on a landscape level regarding greenhouse gas fluxes. The Skogaryd area is located 100 km north of Gothenburg and can be divided into specific environments; mires, clear cuts, drained forests, lakes, streams.
Latnjajaure field station – a part of the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX)
The Latnjajaure field statoion is located at 982 m a.s.l. 14 km west of Abisko. It is a commonly used field hut and has been a site within the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) for more than 30 years.
