Marcus Klaus

Researcher, Department of Forest Ecology and Management, joint staff
I am interested in the carbon and greenhouse gas cycling in the boreal and subarctic landscape. I work mainly in lakes, streams and groundwater, but also soils and trees. With my research, I aim to understand and quantify gas exchange processes from microscopic to global scales.

Presentation

I am a physical geographer with broad interest in boreal forest ecosystems and specific expertise in the fields of limnology, biogeochemistry, hydrology and hydrodynamics.

Research

Major research projects:

Microbubbles – hidden gateways for greenhouse gas emissions from inland waters? (Swedish Research Council VR, 2023-2026)
The role of groundwater in the carbon cycle: long-term sink or overlooked legacy? (Swedish Geological Survey SGU, 2022-2024)
Reducing forestry related greenhouse gas emissions from stream ecosystems by smarter riparian buffer zones (Skogssällskapet, 2019-2022)

Teaching

Current teaching involvement:

Environmental chemistry (Bachelor level)
Forest Ecosystem Ecology (Master level)
Forest history (Master level)
Ecological disturbances in forests under climate change (Bachelor level)
Examiner of Bachelor theses in Forest Sciences
