ERGO - EndocRine Guideline Optimisation - breaking down the wall between human health and environmental testing of endocrine disrupters

Our current era is characterized by increasing amounts of data and information that make it increasingly hard to gain and keep an overview of research fields. To tackle this challenge and using the research field of invasion science as an example, we will develop an open and interactive navigation tool that allows to dive into the field’s research questions and hypotheses, discover relevant publications and datasets.

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

Neurotoxic cyanobacteria in association with aquatic plants pose a real health threat, which could even further increase in the future.

In LakeBase we intend to bring long-term data of German lakes into one database infrastructure in order to make them visible and internationally assessable.
