Jonna Engström-Öst

I am a researcher at Novia UAS and work with different marine biological projects. I supervise two PhD students, Ella von Weissenberg and Andriana Koutsandrea.  I did my PhD in the University of Helsinki on cyanobacteria, zooplankton and planktivore interactions in the EZECO research group, supervised by Markku Viitasalo. Part of my post-doc, I stayed in the beautiful city of Vancouver, British Columbia. Later I was a Research Fellow, and run an Academy project, funded by the Academy of Finland, studying cyanobacteria-zooplankton interactions during climate change, as well as ocean acidification effects on zooplankton, respectively.  

Research interests 

  • Plankton eco-physiology during eutrophication and climate change. 
  • Consequences of ocean acidification and warming on zooplankton.
