Marttiina Rantala has joined the team earlier this month for a one-year post-doc. She got her project on long-term changes in peri-alpine lakes CO2 funded by the “confederation Suisse”. Welcome Marttiina!
New publication : how to formally detect true regime shift in lakes, and doing so using sediment cores….
“Tipping points” and “regime shifts” are two qualifiers often used to characterize any abrupt change in an ecosystem state over time. True regime shifts imply non linearity, hysteresis and lack of resilience but not every ecological transition is, hopefully, a regime shift. In the line of Rosalie’s Work, this paper explores how to confidently detect regime shifts from sediment archives.

The future of mountain lakes under Climate Change cannot be predicted without considering extreme events
Our paper on storm impacts on mountain lakes just published in Global Change Biology!
For those still not convinced that autonomous sensors open fantastic perspectives in finally understanding how these remote lakes work! and obviously, those are not simple systems!
