My research groups

Linnaeus University Centre for Ecology and Evolution in Microbial model Systems (EEMiS) EEMiS is a centre for research excellence studying ecological and evolutionary interactions from land to sea.

My ongoing research projects

Project: Biogeochemical controls on primary production, primary producer community assemblage, and photic zone methane and nitrous oxide in northern Greenland fjords Global warming has large…
Project: Viral Transmission in the Dynamic Environment of Surface Microlayers and Rainwater (VIRTIDE) Viruses of bacteria hold a distinct position at the boundary between the atmosphere and…
Project: Virus control on Baltic Picocyanobacteria Viruses are the most abundant biological entity in marine environments and influence the abundance and evolution of microbes. Here, we explore the…
