Department I: Ecohydrology
The main research aim is to disentangle the complex feedback mechanisms between physical, biogeochemical, and ecological processes in coupled ecosystems.
Department II: Ecosystem Research
The primary aim is to understand the mechanisms that control biodiversity and ecosystem processes in linked river-lake-terrestrial ecosystems at different spatio-temporal scales.
Department III: Experimental Limnology
Located at the Baltic Lake District, the department strives to understand the impacts of global environmental change on biodiversity and related biological processes in fresh waters and to improve ecosystem management by transferring this knowledge.
Department IV: Biology and Ecology of Fishes
We aim to understand the ecological and evolutionary processes that structure freshwater fish communities and affect their functions; and to use this knowledge to improve wild fish population management.
Department V: Ecophysiology and Aquaculture
The main research aim of the department is to understand the underlying mechanisms of the impact of multiple environmental stressors on aquatic vertebrates and to use this information about physiological processes in various environments as scientific basis for sustainable aquaculture development.
Department CL: Chemical Analytics and Biogeochemistry
This department has research and service functions. Main focuses are (1) process studies on biogeochemical matter transformation in aquatic and semiaquatic boundaries and (2) application and adaptation of chemical and experimental procedures to requirements of the research topics within IGB.
