Projects

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. 

The DASTMAP project develops and applies new genetic markers to characterize four in the Danube River endangered sturgeon species as a prerequisite for sustainable fisheries and conservation management.

DANUBE4all will advance existing and develop new digital tools, Citizen Science and technical restoration measures to support fresh and transitional water ecosystem restoration.

Collaborative Project: Coastal Upwelling System in a Changing Ocean – WP3: Role of zooplankton for the trophic transfer efficiency in the upwelling system of the Humboldt Current off Peru

Connectivity and synchronisation of lake ecosystems in space and time

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.

CLIMSHIFT aims for a mechanistic under-standing of stressor interactions acting on shallow aquatic systems, which are especially vulnerable to climate warming and agricultural run-off.

Effects of measures targeting reduction of nutrient intakes and changes in fish communities on re-establishment of charophyte meadows are tested over multiple years.
