Congratulation Tuba on getting this out into the world! A really nice piece of work showing the need to high frequency measurements to provide unbiased estimates of emission from these mesocosm systems.

this was a fun project-- using low costs sensor to increase measurement frequency!

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.

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...

🚨 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...

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!

splendid paper this one!

🐸 March is spawning time for #amphibians. But it's not easy for frogs and newts to find the perfect pond, as these habitats are becoming increasingly rare. Researchers have studied what a pond should look like to support a high diversity of amphibians. Read more 👉 www.igb-berlin.de/en/news/idea...

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/...

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!

More Haiku abstracts to bring some sunshine in these cloudy times..

improve biodiversity, water quality, reduce GHG emissions and make the heart sing.. that's what!

What could restoring #ponds possibly do for landscape-scale conservation?

so much to like here!

more graphical haiku joy!

got to love a Haiku abstract!
