LIMNO LOGO CONTESTThe limnology department had a logo contest. To the right you can see the results of voting, with logo number three sweeping the competition. Special thanks to Fernando C., Katrin A., Jeff H., Annika S., and Sarahi G. for contributing the very nice designs. This logo is limited to personal use only and should not be used for official Uppsala University purposes.
LIMNO FIELD COURSEPeter, Fernando and Anastasija went to Erken on a field course with 30 limnology students from the 3rd to the 7th of October. Here they are all lined up in front of Kallvik.
The limnology department was represented in the annual 10k Studentlopp by Anastasija, Karsten, Martin and Fernando. Karsten finished 4th in the men’s 10k with a time of 36:42, while M. Andersson finished 3rd in the women’s 10k with a time of 43:13.
Maja Pelve (from Erken) and Anna N. attended a week-long C-Cascades training workshop at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. The workshop was about greenhouse gas measurements and consisted of expert lectures in the morning and practical computer training in the afternoons. Seven of the C-Cascades ESR's and seven externals attended the workshop.

SAMPLING IN BRAZILCarolin, Annika and José have successfully finished t h e i r fi r s t s a m p l i n g campaign in this Brazilian spring on Funil “Pea Soup” Reservoir in Rio de Janeiro State. They then drove directly to the next reservoir, Furnas in Minas Gerais State, to catch the finish of the decreasing water level before the rainy season arrives.
Emma and Raquel, along with Gaby and Caique have been successfully working on Camargos Reservoir (located further upstream the same river as Furnas), doing a subbottom and sediment survey for Emma’s Master’s Thesis. Emma fought with bats, rescued a reservoir dog, and is now analyzing all her sediment data.
NEW FACESP a b l o U r r u t i a Cordero will work as research coordinator w i th in the S ITES AquaNet network. Pablo is originally f r o m S p a i n a n d recently completed his PhD at Lund University on the adaptive management of lakes to global environmental changes. He combined long-term monitoring data and experimental studies in mesocosms to explore the potent ial of food web manipulations to buffer against the increased incidence of algal blooms and loss of plankton biodiversity in a future climate.
On October 11th and 13th Anna N. and Katrin went out on the first sampling campaign for the EuroRun project to assess day and nighttime CO2 emissions in two streams in Uppland. The Uppsala sampling team also includes Joachim Audet and José Ledesma from SLU.
NIGHT SAMPLING
Eco-DAS XII (Ecological Dissertations in the Aquatic Sciences) occurred at University of Hawai'i Manoa at the end of October and Raven was one of 35 participants in this year's symposium.
The symposia foster collaborations between interdisciplinary areas of ecological research in oceanography and l imnology th rough melding individual's manuscript proposals into co-author groups. Funding, networking, and career exploration are a l so topics o f structured discussion during the week.

Hi Everyone,
I am excited to take over the newsletter from Alina and try my hand as editor. Please keep sending these great stories so that I have plenty of material to include and of course let me know if you have any feedback.
Sincerely,
