I'm super excited to finally attend EGU again after many, many years in which I heavily missed that fantastic conference. There will be amazing talks and posters, and of course many opportunities for networking (and grabbing some fresh swag!), like ...

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 doi.org/10.1007/s107...

Here's is my experience from the financial crisis of 2008 (and Covid). Even though the whole way we are doing and funding science has changed significantly, people's shortcuts for determining whether or not you are "succeeding" will take longer to recalibrate. /1

🚨 New paper out! Tackling Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in Mar Menor, Spain 🌊🌿 @juanppacheco.bsky.social et al. coupled SWAT+ and WET models to explore how agricultural best management practices can help mitigate HABs in one of Europe’s most vulnerable coastal lagoons doi.org/10.1016/j.je...

I always liked “introduction to systems analysis” by Imboden and Pfenninger. It gently introduces different approaches to model ecosystems

The aim of this home made, low cost, system Ed is working on is to measure fluxes of carbon dioxide and methane (diffusion and bubbles) 6 times a day, 7 days a week, hopefully 365 days the year on all 24 mesocosms. That will 52 560 flux estimates, though we might miss a couple over the year!

@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!

Work with me on getting depth-discrete profiles of water quality using high-frequency loggers and microCTD measurements! And then let’s be creative to infer mechanisms that could improve mechanistic modeling.

Great paper that highlights the performance of four lake models (bulk, energy balance, and 2x k-Epsilon models) on lakes, globally! There’s no clear winner. Some perform well there, some better there. So, using ensemble modeling is the path forward to improve projections and state uncertainty 🌊🌡️💧

How can we build better predictive models? And what can AI tell us about complex ecosystem mechanisms? I’m hiring a PhD student to work with me on applying data-driven discovery methods on high-frequency lake data to begin September 2025. Application is due on May 4.

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! Here's the official description: lnkd.in/dzTwudQz

This is one of the papers that made me fall in love with this group! Do we need stable state theory to explain algae dynamics? Such an interesting thought

Thanks, Tobias! I’m super excited.

This grant will also allow us to continue an active collaboration between colleagues in Denmark, North America and Europe. Thank you, Villum Fonden!

The aim is to improve our short- and long-term projections of the formation of harmful algal blooms which are a global nuisance. On the way, we also aim at improving our conceptual understanding of linked ecosystem processes.

We will apply data-driven discovery algorithms on lake high-frequency data to look for improved model formulations. And we will develop hybrid 1D lake models that integrate deep learning into a process-based model (== Ecological Knowledge-Guided Machine Learning)
