The latest Meeting Highlight piece from the 2025 Hacking #Limnology and #DSOS Virtual Summit for #DataScience and #OpenScience went live today! Many thanks to everyone who has supported the workshops and summits over the past half DECADE! @aslo.org aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

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! 🧪

New paper alert!! Our viewpoint piece uses data from the U.S. EPA National Lakes Assessment + Landsat to see how differing definitions of trophic state can skew and enhance our understanding of lake ecosystems! @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We’re going 3D now, thanks @andreasbert.bsky.social @freshwaterau.bsky.social

Nerve-wracking (but fun!) training of installing shear probes and thermistors into our new microCTD with @tubabucak.bsky.social Now we’re ready for the field!

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.

So happy to share the news that we’re hosting the FIFTH iteration of Hacking Limnology/DSOS this summer! It will be a fest!

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

We're making waves at #EGU25 today in the amazing GHG dynamics in aquatic ecosystems session! In case you have missed it, continue reading 🫰

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.

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

A warm welcome to Ed. edevardtdanielsen.bsky.social. ecos.au.dk/aktuelt/nyhe...

🚨 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...

Let’s do this!

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 🌊🌡️💧

Work laptop shuts down instantly when I connect it to my AirPods, blue screen and everything. Maybe the universe is telling me something here

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.

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. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

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

A dark day for German democracy, the ‘firewall’ is broken. www.dw.com/en/germany-b...

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

I’m excited to share that I received the Villum Young Investigator grant. Thank you! In this project, I’ll develop new ecosystem models to improve our projections of stochastic processes, ie, turbulent mixing and algae dynamics. The grant will fund a PhD, a postdoc, and high frequency monitoring.

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...

We’re actively collaborating with colleagues from UW-Madison, Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh Uni on innovative models for Ecological Knowledge-Guided Machine Learning! So far, integrating a deep learning model directly into a process-based model seems very promising for non-linear ecological dynamics.

@andreasbert.bsky.social is kicking off our first science post in @freshwaterau.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

Hello World 👋! We are Freshwater Ecology Group at Aarhus University, Dept of Ecoscience. Our interests span all aspects of freshwater ecology with a special focus on lake ecology/functioning, biodiversity, GHG emissions, stream ecology, nature-based solutions, ecosystem modelling, and management!

❗One week away before Abstract submission deadline for #EGU25. ➡️Consider session HS10.5 where we invite all contributions aiming at bridging limnology and hydrology together to better connect lakes and reservoirs to their catchments 💧🧪💻 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

"A study of federally funded research projects in the United States estimated that principal investigators spend on average about 45% of their time on administrative activities related to applying for and managing projects rather than conducting active research" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

First lake* ice of the year with beautiful white and black ice layering *more like a puddle

Wanna meet up in Europe’s most beautiful city to chat about lake-catchment dynamics? We’re excited to host this session to promote needed collaborations and talks between limnologists and hydrologists to advance water management.

Too early to call it, but I think the bug that I’m chasing for nearly a year now, which has caused endless rewriting of code, was just a bracket in the wrong place …

Left the other place run by Trump's buddy? Here's a starter pack of freshwater scientists to get you started. Also, if you're a freshwater scientist and want to be added, let me know. Still space available. go.bsky.app/K5ubDhb

Fantastic lecture by @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social today during our Big Data course hosted by the UNITAR Global Water Academy! You can check out Michael’s and all of the other lectures here: www.yorku.ca/research/wat...

Is there a limnology/freshwater ecology starter pack here? And also, what’s a starter pack?

Buoy is safe, winter can come!

I had an absolute BLAST chatting science and life with some many wonderful folks at CU Boulder EBIO. The future of ecology (and especially fire ecology) looks very bright :)

New ms!! @hydrobert.bsky.social led a team to create a modular compositional learning model. MCL allows for flexible process-guided machine learning, where users can specify steps of the process where machine learning should assist the model. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Chasing down the mystery of nearshore benthic algal blooms in "blue water" lakes, our new paper explores the potential for warming water to fuel blooms via nutrient release from sediment. Led by S. Hampton with @hydrobert.bsky.social M. Meyer, J.S. Baron, and A. Champlain doi.org/10.1002/lol2...

I am excited to announce that I have accepted a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor position for Lake Modeling and Freshwater Ecology at Aarhus University! Starting this December, I am going to establish my own research group at the Department of Ecoscience.
