🌊 Participate in a Coordinated Multi-Lake Mesocosm Experiment

Following the BIOGEOMON 2026 conference, the Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science (SITES) will run a coordinated, multi-lake mesocosm experiment from June 15 to July 3, 2026. This experiment aligns with the conference theme “Ecosystems in Transition” and will investigate how terrestrial inputs of mineral particles affect carbon and nutrient transformations, food web dynamics, and lake metabolism.

We invite researchers and students to join in the planning, implementation, and analysis of this experiment. Participants can:

• Join with a specific research project addressing a question that fits within the overarching experiment theme, or

• Participate as an intern without a specific project.

Both options require a brief application of interest, due March 31, 2026:

• Apply with your own project

• Apply for an internship

SITES provides free access to:

• Mesocosms and instrumentation

• Technical support for setup

• Background chemical and sensor data

• Lab space for sample processing

For more information, join the information meeting via Zoom on February 13, 2026, at 10:00: Zoom link
