Florian Muthreich is lead author (with a number of colleagues from the BIOSPEC group at NMBU) on this recent paper whihc investigates a series of data processing techniques to remove scattering in micro-FTIR spectra on small pollen grains like those Continue reading New Paper in Analytica Chemica Acta
We have new masters projects available for projects in the UiB Biology Masters courses for both2025 and 2026. Opportunities include: Greenhouse experiments to test UV responses of plants (within the Laschamps-UV project and with Alistair Seddon) Measures of ecosystem resilience Continue reading Masters projects: 2025/2026
We have a 3-year postdoctoral application currently open (deadline 23rd October 2024, apply here) within the NFR funded LASCHAMPS-UV project, which aims to investigate whether surface UV-B radiation increased during the Laschamps Geomagnetic Excursion, 42-41k years before present. An excellent Continue reading Postdoctoral Position and Masters Projects Available!
Alistair Seddon, in collaboration with Boris Zimmermann at NMBU, has just published a technical comment in relation to a paper that published earlier this year that claimed to show direct evidence of enhanced UV-B radiation during the end Permian mass Continue reading Technical comment published
By Florian Muthreich The field season 2022 has ended for QUEST-UV, meaning that we are now processing samples for lab analysis, and even already thinking about the next field season. Here I want to reflect on the first field season Continue reading Notes from the field
Research into the chemical defence of plants to UV-B radiation Are you interested in plant-environment interactions? Chemical defence mechanisms in plants? Fieldwork in mountain environments or in greenhouse settings? Or perhaps you are excited about developing new tools to understand Continue reading New Masters/ BIO299 projects in QUEST-UV
