Jonas Stage Sø

Jonas Stage Sø serves as a Guest Researcher in the Freshwater Biology section of the Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science. His research focuses on greenhouse gas dynamics in freshwater ecosystems, particularly methane and carbon dioxide emissions from lakes and ponds. Affiliated with the Freshwater Biology section at Universitetsparken 4 in Copenhagen, he collaborates extensively with researchers including K. Sand-Jensen, T. Kragh, and K. T. Martinsen.

His research interests center on Freshwater Ecology and Biogeochemistry, specifically examining methane ebullition processes, high-resolution gas flux measurements, and the environmental controls of greenhouse gas emissions in aquatic systems. His work combines field measurements with ecosystem-scale analysis to understand carbon cycling in lakes across varying trophic states and climatic conditions. Recent studies investigate how wind, ice cover, and biological processes drive temporal and spatial variability in emissions.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals consistent focus on methane cycling in freshwater systems, with growing emphasis on high-frequency monitoring techniques and global scaling implications. His research demonstrates that ebullition dominates methane emissions across all lake sizes, challenging previous assumptions about emission mechanisms. The work spans temperate to boreal systems, examining seasonal patterns, ice cover effects, and interactions between physical and biological drivers.

While no specific awards are documented in the available materials, his publications show significant academic impact with multiple Scopus citations and substantial Mendeley readership across international research communities.

Dr. Sø's collaborative network includes extensive work with the Freshwater Biology group at the University of Copenhagen, particularly on projects involving high-resolution gas flux monitoring. His research outputs demonstrate strong methodological innovation in measuring previously undersampled emission processes, with implications for global carbon budgets and climate models. The team maintains active collaborations across European freshwater research institutions, as evidenced by co-authorship patterns and network visualizations.
