- this was a fun project-- using low costs sensor to increase measurement frequency!
- What happens to CO2 flux during the dry phase of ponds? New paper from #PONDERFUL project is out! bg.copernicus.org/articles/23/...
- Reposted by Tom DavidsonDon’t mind us, just recovering a buoy and upgrading it for more high-frequency data gathering!
- Reposted by Tom DavidsonTesting 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.
- Reposted by Tom DavidsonJust 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...
- Reposted by Tom Davidson🚨 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...
- Reposted by Tom DavidsonThe 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!
- splendid paper this one!
- Your model is your hypothesis. So, why not use multiple of them? Championed by Feldbauer & Mesman, in our fresh-off-the-press paper we highlight the performance of temperature models across the globe, and discuss the path forward to get better projections! hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/...

- Reposted by Tom DavidsonHow 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
- Reposted by Tom DavidsonFrogs, 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. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- If plankton to plants is catastrophic or not time the great tester In our group a highlight has been using long-term monitoring data to test ideas in ecology. Here we asked “does the theory of the alternative stable states in shallow lakes stand the test of time?” doi.org/10.1038/s414...

- Congratulations Robert!
- Villum funds the work for computers to think big, lakes should be as clear. We're very happy to share that @hydrobert.bsky.social got the Villum Young Investigator Grant for his project, "Integrating AI into Aquatic Ecosystem Models to Decode Ecological Complexity." villumfonden.dk/en/news/mill...
- More Haiku abstracts to bring some sunshine in these cloudy times..
- Which is important Phosphorus or nitrogen Most Plankton need both We are lucky to have this unique long-running mesocosm experiment in our group. So we can ask Qs like, is N loading important in shaping phytoplankton abundance? @mjmcncycle.bsky.social www.cell.com/the-innovati...
- improve biodiversity, water quality, reduce GHG emissions and make the heart sing.. that's what!
