Department of Ecology and Environmental Science

I lead several research projects in marine ecology, and am the scientific coordinator for the strategic research program EcoChange.

My research concerns effects of environmental and climate change on the productivity and the food web structure of northern aquatic ecosystems.

My research interests include conservation ecology and restoration ecology, with a special interest in human impacts on biodiversity in the Afrotropics.

I am postdoctoral fellow in Johan Wikner’s group studying the adaptation strategies of marine prokaryotes in the cold and oligotrophic sub-Arctic and Arctic ecosystems.

I research about measures to restore and rehabilitate watercourse ecosystems affected by human activity.

I am a soil ecologist with a focus on soil fauna. I work on the impact of earthworm invasion on the soil organic matter decomposition process in boreal forests.

I work with administration and managerial support at the Department of Ecology and Environmental Science and Umeå Marine Sciences Centre.

I'm a soil ecologist with a strong focus on priming effect.

Research focus on the dynamics of long-term environmental changes. Currently also head of department.

My work is primarily seeking to understand how lakes function and their role in the carbon cycle and feedback to climate.

My work focuses on the linkages between aboveground and belowground communities, how they drive ecosystem  functioning, and how they interact with drivers of global change.

Web master at EMG.

I am investigating the effects of variations in the visible light spectrum in seawater on phytoplankton on both community and species levels.

Ecosystem ecologist with a focus on belowground plant ecology in tundra and peatlands.

Researching carbon cycling in Swedish old-growth forests

Understanding the fundamental mechanisms of photosynthesis in the coastal marine environment, and its application towards achieving sustainable conservation.

My research focus on impacts of climate change on the biogeochemistry and ecology of boreal and arctic aquatic ecosystems.

I'm a researcher and teacher within the field of environmental science.

My research focuses on understanding what controls respiration and growth in Bacteria and Archaea in the ocean with relevance to the carbon and oxygen cycles in the biosphere.

A terrestrial ecologist working on belowground response to grazing and snow cover changes. I look at spatial & temporal dynamics of roots and the biochemical linkage.

I study sustainable land use with a focus on reindeer husbandry and conflicts with other land users. I am also responsible for the research leadership program, ReaL, at Umeå University.

Professor in environmental science

My research interest are (riparian) plant community composition and decomposition, for which I use the tea bag index.

Studying the influence of deciduous trees in riparian buffers of boreal streams on stream metabolism and aquatic communities.

My focus is on modeling cyanobacterial blooms and nutrient dynamics in the Northern Baltic Sea, with an emphasis on sustainable development and societal preparedness for climate change.

Herbaria administrator, botanist and teacher in floristics.

Director of the Arctic Centre at Umeå University, Coordinator of the Climate Impacts Research Centre, and transdisciplinary ecologist studying how environmental change impacts Arctic ecosystems.

I am investigating the genetic and functional adaptation of bacteria to utilize different carbon substrates.

I study structural and functional response of microbial communities to climate change in Baltic Sea.

Researcher in fluvial geomorphology with focus on rivers and streams.

Student administrator

Archive coordinator for EMG

I do research on soil organic carbon, vegetation distribution, vegetation productivity, plant-herbivory interaction using GIS and remote sensing techniques in the Arctic and permafrost environments.

Associate professor in Earth Science. My expertise includes paleoclimate change during periods of elevated volcanism, global element cycles, and inorganic geochemistry.

My research investigates the relationships between climate change and marine ecosystems with a focus on ecosystem service provision. I am the Director of Umeå Marine Sciences Centre.

I study size-dependent interactions within and between fish species and effects of fishing and climate change on population dynamics and ecological processes.

I am studying the role of vascular plants in year-round carbon cycling in alpine/arctic ecosystems, using a combination of ecological and physiological methods.

My research is focused on the effects of climate change on biogeochemical processes in terrestrial and aquatic environments above all in arctic and boreal environments.

I am a professor of environmental science and research on paleolimnology and environmental change. Since 2018, I am chairman of the employment committee at the Faculty of Science and Technology.

Professor of ecology who develops mathematical models for describing and understanding the dynamics of aquatic ecosystems

My research is investigating acclimation and adaptation of the coral holobiont. I mainly focus on the symbiotic community composition within coral reefs using bioinformatics tools.

Biological oceanographer specialized in phytoplankton ecophysiology. I work with research on the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems.

Teaching on courses that deals with ecology and the questions about how a sustainable society will be formed.

My research area focuses on how climate change induced stressors affect the food web quality and efficiency in the northern Baltic Sea.

My main interests are the multiple interactions between people and nature, including the effects of land use change and climate change. Most of my research focuses on sub-arctic and boreal systems.

PhD student interested in functional ecology and plant-environment interactions

PhD student

My main research focuses on the evolutionary history of conifer trees in Eurasia.

I teach primarily on the Environmental Helth program, and do research on how metal contamination affect our ecosystems, with special interest in bird populations.
