Emma Ditte Røhmann Polauke

Emma Ditte Røhmann Polauke is a PhD Student and Researcher at the Department of Biology, University of Southern Denmark, focusing on ecology, biomanipulation, and greenhouse gas emissions in freshwater ecosystems. Her work bridges environmental science with climate change mitigation through lake and stream management.

• Current Projects: Biomanipulation of Bromme Lillesø, Søholt Storskov hydrological restoration, and Phoslock treatment evaluations.
• Teaching: Leads the Sommerkursus Økologi BB548 (2024–2025), emphasizing practical training in aquatic ecosystems.

Her research explores seasonal and spatial dynamics of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) fluxes in lowland stream networks, sediment removal impacts, and fish population dynamics. Collaborations with institutions like Copenhagen University highlight her interdisciplinary approach. Key subfields include biomanipulation, aquatic carbon cycling, and nature-based climate solutions.

Projects such as Phoslock treatment and high-resolution methane monitoring underscore her focus on practical environmental interventions. She contributes to public seminars on lake stewardship, engaging stakeholders in sustainable management practices.
