Meet Gesa Weyhenmeyer Professor in Aquatic Biogeochemistry and member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Weyhenmeyer's research is on understanding how lake ecosystems around the world respond to a rapidly changing global environment. Much of her research is carried out within the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON). By bridging together biology with geosciences, physics, chemistry, sensor technology and data science her research provides novel insights into climate responses and feedbacks of Earth’s ecosystems.

The basis for the research are global, regional and local databases, including Sweden's unique physical, chemical and biological freshwater long-term data series as well as field and laboratory experiments. The research is mainly funded by the European Union, NordForsk, the Swedish Research Council, the Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences and Spatial Planning (FORMAS), the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Wallenberg foundation.

In addition to research, Weyhenmeyer is actively engaged in the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), both as official reviewer and contributing author. Weyhenmeyer is also an Excellent Teacher, and she has a passion to pass on our common responsibility to sustain lakes on Earth and frequently communicates this responsibility and newest research results to students, policy-makers, stakeholders and society in general. In 2024, she led, for example, an international study on Global Lake Health in the Anthropocene: societal implications and treatment strategies, which was published in Earth's Future and communicated to a very broad audience.

Please check out and follow Gesa Weyenmeyer's amazing bio, background, work, and publications.
