Projects

We are proud to host a number of researchers (interns, doctoral candidates, Postdocs) that come with their own funding.

FIThydro addresses the decision support in commissioning and operating hydro-power plants (HPP) through the use of existing and innovative technologies and the integration of ecological, technical, economic and societal perspectives to improve sustainable hydropower use at a maximum mitigation of ecological impacts.

Our aim is the investigation of regional, i.e. landscape-scale, mechanisms of carbon dissimilation in ‘fluvial metaecosystems’.

This project’s overall objective is to better forecast the future of invasions and their impacts worldwide.
