Projects

This project aims to understand how climate variability and land cover changes affect ecohydrological water partitioning across the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC).

The goal of the PREDATOR project is to understand the impact of recreational fishing pressure on the behavior of natural fish populations.

Inner-city ponds provide essential functions for urban areas, but their stability is threatened by many stressors such as anthropogenic pollution. The project leaders aim to investigate whether pond ecosystems become more resilient through evolutionary or microbiome-mediated adaptation of water fleas (Daphnia) to urban pollution.

The goal of this project is to advance theory on the development of behavioral individuality.

The “GeoFRESH” online platform will allow high-resolution geospatial queries of the global hydrographic network, and enables users to download analysis-ready environmental data.

The nature of interactions between the freshwater mosses, their microbiome, and the associated toxic cyanobacteria

In this scientific network, we are investigating social-ecological networks in urban areas in an international and interdisciplinary team over a period of three years.
