I am a PhD student with SLU since 2009. I am holding a Diplom (Msc) in Hydrology from the University of Freiburg, Germany. My recent work is mainly focusing on the impact of forestry on hydrology and water quality in streams of the boreal landscape.

A major part of my research is conducted to the 'Balsjö Experimental Area', a paired catchment study which is located approximately 70km from the city of Umeå in northern Sweden. I am responsible for all field activities at this research site. My special interest there is the interaction of hydrological and biochemical processes affecting the dynamic of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) concentrations in streamwater.

jakob_schelker_2 My project is to test the influence of different factors regulating stream water chemistry, as e.g. clear-cutting, site preparation and the role of buffer stripes at different scales. Further the project aims to transfer this knowledge from the headwater-level to the landscape scale using modeling approaches.
 
Besides my main interest in DOC I am very interested in snow hydrology, especially processes within snowpacks and melt water contributions to streams. Another field of interest are heavy metals and my focus here is on the mobilization and transformation of mercury in soils, wetlands and streams.

My supervisors are: Hjalmar Laudon, Karin Öhman, Per-Anders Esseen and Kevin Bishop. 

At SLU I am also a member of CCrew, the Cold Climate Research in Boreal Watersheds group which is operating the Krycklan Catchment Study, one of the best monitoring and research sites in northern Sweden. 


If you have any questions to my work or other things please feel free to contact me - I am always happy to be disturbed.
