| Research Topics | |||
| Limnology of lakes, phytoplankton, nutrient dynamics, effects of climate change. Interactions between growth factors for phytoplankton (colimitation by light, nutrients, temperature and photoperiod, effect of quantity and quality of light, light fluctuations), climate change effects on lakes (phytoplankton, thermal structure, mixing, nutrients), spring bloom, dominance of cyanobacteria, nutrient dynamics in lakes, modelling and numerical simulation. Topic of PhD: Combined trophic and climate change: Interactive effects of nutrients and physical factors on phytoplankton growth. Current project: ecological and hydrodynamic modelling of Lake Stechlin, investigation of climate change effects and signs of eutrophication | |||
