What will the future hold for the aquatic sciences? Let's chat about this at next year's ASLO-SIL Joint Meeting in Canada!
How can we expand our science by using remote sensing 🛰️, data science 💾, machine learning 🤖, modeling 📈, and/or open science 🫶 - creative approaches for impactful research! 🧪

Don’t mind us, just recovering a buoy and upgrading it for more high-frequency data gathering!

Testing the ECO ADCP at Lake Ormstrup (thanks to our colleagues in Roskilde who lent it to us!). Now, we hope for the wind to pick up, so we can measure some velocity profiles.

Got to love a bit of early morning sampling with the mist rising off the lake before the days 'heat' arrives.

THE BUOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!
We got new buoys today to extend our lake monitoring for the Danish Long-Term Ecological Research. These will extend our high-frequency data sets of oxygen and temperature in two new lakes to better understand slow as well as rapid environmental changes.

Just published! 🚨 Microplastics are persistent pollutants and hotspots for bacterial biofilms, including halotolerant pathogens. Could these plastic carriers be spreading harmful microbes? 🦠 Dive into this research in Anatolian saline lakes 🌊 @juanppacheco.bsky.social

@edevardtdanielsen.bsky.social, @tubabucak.bsky.social, @etileter.bsky.social and @thosdavidson.bsky.social launched Ed’s PhD project at the Lemming mesocosms! We study how nutrients, temperature, and macrophytes affect oxygen dynamics and GHGs in aquatic systems. Excited to see what we uncover!

Frogs, toads, newts paddling
Sampled across Europe’s ponds
what drives their numbers
Hot off the press a nice paper from the PONDERFUL project on what drives Amphibian diversity in ponds, happy Friday.

Are you interested in field work and data science? We're looking for a PhD student interested in data-driven analysis of non-linearity in lake ecosystems to begin September 2025.
Please share far and wide, and contact Robert for any questions!

Villum funds the work
for computers to think big,
lakes should be as clear.

Uncertain future
Why are models so unsure?
Computers should think.
To develop the next generation of models, we couple process-based models with deep learning. These hybrids integrate buoy data to better capture complex ecosystem dynamics! doi.org/10.1029/2023... @hydrobert.bsky.social

Fish numbers reduced
Fine dinner, bugs aplenty
Plankton be wary
We went knee-deep in fish guts to find out what happens to fish diets after a lake restoration. Check out the scoop at: doi.org/10.1111/jfb.... @andreasbert.bsky.social
