Work experience
The Scientific work of E. Juurola is focused on the acclimation of different tree and mire species to varying environmental conditions; climate change, drought, annual cycle etc. The topics have included also modelling of photosynthesis and studies on tree carbohydrate balance. She has 15 years of experience in eco-physiological measurement techniques and experimentation both in field and in laboratory. Her teaching experience includes courses in University of Helsinki, and in Khartoum University, Sudan, as well as supervising Finnish and international students at MSc. and PhD level. Recently she has also led projects on outreach and education (www.carbontree.fi). Her current post is at the Transient Head Office of ICOS Research Infrastructure (Integrated Carbon Observation System)._x000D_
