Personal profile
Curriculum vitae
My research interests are the response of sensitive lake ecosystems to climate variability and C cycling in lakes. In my PhD, I will study the influence of hydroclimate on lake primary productivity in the Arctic. This PhD is part of the project funded by the Academy of Finland “SLEET, Beyond the shore: past sea-ice change and lake ecosystems in the Arctic”. My master’s project was about the evolution of Boreal lakes during the Holocene and their resilience to anthropogenic disturbances.
