Projects

LILA (Lake Issyk-Kul Environmental Laboratory)

SO-SCALE aims to achieve a novel integrated, cross-compartmental and cross-scale understanding of the partitioning of incoming precipitation in agricultural systems. 

Effects of non-stationary flow and a moving riverbed on organic trace substances.

New sYsteM-driven bioremediation of Polluted Habitats and Environment

The new German-Chinese cooperation project deals with ice-covered lakes of the Tibetan and Mongolian plateaus and their reaction to climate change. The aim is to set up an international research network that will close the gap in knowledge about ice-covered lakes as important but hitherto little-studied components of the hydrological and climatic system.

Was leisten Auen für die Wasserqualität in der Donau und wie können unterschiedliche Nutzungsinteressen über Ländergrenzen hinweg berücksichtigt werden?

Network of Leading Ecosystem Scale Experimental AQUAtic MesoCOSM Facilities Connecting Rivers, Lakes, Estuaries and Oceans in Europe and beyond

In this project, the effect of climate change on the physical processes of lakes will be investigated. Several lakes with a diverse set of boundary conditions (e. g. differing mean depth or different wind exposure) will be instrumented with logger chains. They will measure temperature and oxygen in high resolution and make it possible to resolve changes in physical conditions in response to varying climatic forcing.  In addition to direct measurements, numerical models can be used to reproduce water temperatures in lakes.
