We study the intersections of Planetary Health, Sustainability, and Evolution in the Anthropocene.

PHASES (Planetary Health in the Anthropocene - Sustainability of Evolving Systems) is a collaborative research team spread across Stockholm University, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and Uppsala University.

Humans are changing every bit of the planet. Understanding these rapidly unfolding evolutionary processes will be central for safeguarding human and planetary health.
