معرفی
Caroline Björnerås is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Lund University, affiliated with the BECC (Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate), Department of Geology, and Functional Ecology. Her research focuses on iron (Fe) and organic carbon (OC) cycling in aquatic environments, particularly how Fe influences OC transformation and sedimentation in lakes. She employs geochemical methods like synchrotron-based XAS and paleolimnological techniques to study biogeochemical processes in freshwater ecosystems.
Education: PhD in Biogeochemistry (2014–2020, Lund University). Research interests include Fe-OC interlinkages, brownification, and environmental changes in boreal lakes.
Recent work explores Fe’s role in OC aggregation and sediment preservation, with publications spanning lab experiments and field studies. Key projects include investigating drivers of iron concentration increases in boreal lakes and the impacts of light/pH regimes on biogeochemical fluxes.
Awards: None explicitly stated. Media engagements include interviews on rising iron levels in Swedish waters (2017).
Labs/Teams: Active in BECC and Functional Ecology, collaborating on interdisciplinary projects addressing climate change impacts on freshwater systems.
