Our UCL #ghostponds #ghostpingo #pond restoration work featured today. Very positive news for freshwater nature recovery @hburningham.bsky.social @timholtwilson.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hello BlueSky! 👋 We publish articles, interviews and podcasts on freshwater conservation and restoration. We feature stories on how rivers, lakes, streams and wetlands are being brought back to life across the world. We are supported by @merlin-project.bsky.social Read here: freshwaterblog.net

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

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...

we need better options to publish OA. more like this please: open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu free OA for EU funded work

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.

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...

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...

Uncertain future Why are models so unsure? Computers should think. To develop the next generation of models, we couple process-based models with deep learning. These hybrids integrate buoy data to better capture complex ecosystem dynamics! doi.org/10.1029/2023... @hydrobert.bsky.social

Flooded woods. A #river without floodbanks that washes through woodland for much of winter-spring. Full of invertebrates & fish. A rare natural habitat. But easily restored...

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
