WANDEL focuses on the question of whether limited water availability restricts the use of conventional energy systems and thereby accelerates the energy transition, or whether it actually slows the transition down.

This project intends to understand better fish invasion dynamics in this major canal after its expansion in 2016.

This update is needed to ensure uniform identification and coding of indicator species used for the assessment of the ecological status of lakes and rivers in Germany. Department (Dept. 1) Ecohydrology and Biogeochemistry Start 01/2017 End 01/2018 Topic STURGEoNOMICS This project will use whole genome-based approaches for the improvement of conservation and aquaculture in two sturgeon species: Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) and Beluga (Huso huso).

Street lighting can severely impair nocturnal flying insects, as many insects are attracted to the light of the luminaires and withdrawn from their actual habitats. Help us to investigate which insects are affected by street lighting and how environmentally sound lighting solutions can help preserve the insects' habitat.
