LUCCI is a research center at Lund University devoted to
studies of the carbon cycle and how it interacts with the climate system. The
centre is financed for a ten-year period (2008-2017) by a Linnaeus grant from
the Swedish Research Council VR.

The centre involves about 85 researchers from geology, physical geography,
climatology, atmospheric physics and chemistry, ecology, plant physiology, soil
science and microbiology. Three Lund university departments are represented:
Earth and Ecosystem Sciences, Microbial Ecology and Nuclear Physics.

Working together in a creative cross-disciplinary environment, our goals are to
increase the understanding of how the carbon cycle and climate system function
and interact, and to disseminate our findings to society.

Detailed knowledge about how climate and human activities influence the sources
and sinks of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane is needed in order
to make the informed and effective decisions needed for combating climate
change.
