Management of Climatic Extreme Events in Lakes and Reservoirs for the Protection of Ecosystem Services (MANTEL)

Climatic extremes, in particular storms and heat waves, are now becoming more frequent, a trend that has been linked to directional climate change and is projected to continue. The overarching aim of the MANTEL European Joint Doctoral (EJD) Training Network is to train a cohort of Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to investigate the effects of the most extreme events, and more subtle lower magnitude episodic events, on lake and reservoir water quality.

Host−parasite interactions in hybridizing Daphnia

Eutrophication is a worldwide environmental problem accelerated by global warming, affecting the stability of aquatic ecosystems and having long-lasting consequences. In this project we investigate if and how eutrophication affects two interacting evolutionary processes: disease spread and interspecific hybridization.

Wanderfisch

Traveling from rivers to the sea and back is a major task in a sturgeon’s life and now he even takes children and young adults on his journey. By means of joint actions children explore their aquatic environment and learn important facts related to the use and protection of water bodies as well as to the linkage of ecosystems.
