Jukka Pumpanen

Professor, University of Eastern Finland

Profersson in Microbial Biogeochemistry

The research work of is focusing on greenhouse gas balances of forest soils and soil microbiology as a driver of respiration and soil organic matter decomposition and the greenhouse gas fluxes between soil and the atmosphere. His recent work has been focusing on the long-term effects of disturbances on carbon balances of forest ecosystems. He is also studying the lateral flows of carbon and nutrients between terrestrial and aquatic systems.
Frank Berninger

Professor, University of Eastern Finland

Professor in Plant Ecology

is a versatile plant ecologist with a love for fieldwork and mathematical methods. His current interest is on the long term effects of disturbances on forests and the interactions of plants, roots and inland waters as well as on large scale variations ecological processes (using big data). In addition, he has an interest in biochar as a tool to improve the environment.
Annamari (Ari) Lauren

Associate professor, University of Eastern Finland

is expert in process-based forest ecosystem modelling.

Research interests:

  1. Hydrology, biogeochemistry and forest production on forested peatlands,
  2. Modelling of nutrient fluxes in catchment scale
  3. Environmental effects of forestry and new methods for water protection
  4. Biochar in water purification
Helena Jäntti

Post Doctoral Researcher, Water Research Coordinator, University of Eastern Finland

is coordinating the water research program and doing research on aquatic biogeochemistry
Taija Saarela

PhD Student, University of Eastern Finland

The objective of 's doctoral thesis is to investigate how catchment area characteristics affect the water quality and greenhouse gas emissions from freshwater ecosystems. She aims 1) to study how the quality and microbial degradability of terrestrially derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) vary among catchments with different land cover (e.g. vegetation, soil properties) and land use (i.e. forest management practices), and 2) how these further regulate the production and consumption of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in streams and lakes.

In addition, she is interested in biochar applications to decrease the DOM and nutrient load on aquatic systems.
