Erken

Lake Erken extends across eastern Sweden with gneiss and granite bedrock foundations covered by glacial and postglacial clay deposits.

Uppsala University received Norr Malma farm as a donation from Carl Malmén in 1928 to establish research facilities at Lake Erken.

Swedish limnological research traditions developed through studies of water chemistry, vegetation patterns, and freshwater species at Lake Erken Laboratory.

The laboratory maintains year-round operations with ten staff members, providing boats and vehicles for research activities across the water body.

The lake monitoring program includes one of the longest continuous records of water temperature and chemical measurements in scientific research.
