Welcome to the Rautio Aqua Lab website!

Milla Rautio and her research group study freshwater ecosystems, with emphasis on high latitude lakes. They have a special interest in the trophic ecology and biogeochemistry, and how aquatic ecosystems respond to environmental change. Their work includes laboratory and field studies on:

• Lipids in aquatic food webs

• Winter limnology

• Ecology, diversity and production of zoo- and phytoplankton

• Aquatic biogeochemistry

• Paleolimnology

• UV radiation effects on zooplankton

• Impacts of climate change
