Climate research
Climatology or climate research is the study of climate, scientifically defined as weather conditions averaged over a period of time. This modern field of study is regarded as a branch of the atmospheric sciences and a subfield of physical geography, which is one of the Earth sciences.

SLU launches large-scale climate experiment in Swedish forest
Forest growth in Sweden has slowed down. Climate change is believed to play a key role – but exactly how remains unknown. Now, SLU is launching one of the largest field experiments of its kind to
