An integrative framework for understanding and predicting the role of inland waters in the carbon cycle

An integrative framework for understanding and predicting the role of inland waters in the carbon cycle

Using field data and modeling we test the hypothesis that greenhouse gas emission, carbon burial in sediments, and carbon export downstream vary depending on the climatic conditions and the structure of the water network.

Climate change induced regime shifts in Northern lake ecosystems

This project brings together new tools and concepts in biogeochemistry and ecology, with the aims of understanding and predicting the effects of climate change on the delivery of two major ecosystem services, fish production and the net greenhouse gas balance of Northern lakes.
