Big welcome to Ema, our new Postdoc! He’ll spend the next 2 years with us on the CyaNoServices project, studying how effects of harmful cyanobacterial blooms ripple out from ponds to affect insects — and the ecosystems that depend on them.
His fieldwork spans Sweden, Spain, and Brazil 🌍

Lab Clean-up Day done! ✅
Old samples were disposed of, lab is a lot tidier now, and our coffee machine has never been cleaner! ☕👌
All part of our LEAF Gold sustainability journey 🌿
Rounded off the day with an outdoor lunch with the rest of the BIO Department = perfect day! 😊💚

New in L&O: This study from South Greenland shows that lake & stream autotrophic biofilms are shaped by different drivers. With climate change, biomass may increase, reshaping Arctic food webs. Congrats to Sanne on her final PhD paper! 🌿 doi.org/10.1002/lno....

🚀 New & novel!
Two of our BSc students are developing an innovative method to sample soil greenhouse gases using silicone tubing + Li-Cor analysis.
It’s exciting to see real scientific advances made at the BSc level—this work is already generating great data! 🌱

🌊 Bubbles matter! 💨
This new paper wraps up Jonas Stage Sø’s PhD work and brings new insights into methane emissions from lakes. The conclusion is that ebullition from lakes often dwarfs diffusive flux — especially at higher temperatures.
