My research interests include the distribution of zooplankton in northern lakes and ponds, the response of zooplankton to ultraviolet radiation, and the benthic-pelagic coupling in shallow subarctic and arctic ponds. I do my work both in subarctic Finland (KilpisjÌÛrvi 69åπN, 21åπE) and Canada (Kuujjuarapik 55åπN, 77åπW), and arctic Canada (Resolute 75åπN, 98åπW). During the last years I have undertaken research in the EU projects MOLAR and EMERGE on topics covering several limnological aspects and in particular zooplankton dynamics.
