The former IGB doctoral student completed her thesis in the research group of Michael Hupfer as part of the international DFG Graduate School "Urban Water Interfaces". 22 September 2022 short news A game to explore career paths in ecology Researchers from IGB, FUB and HUB developed a pack of cards for ecology and related disciplines. The "Ecologist's Career Compass" helps students and professionals to discover the diversity of career paths in the ecological job market. 12 September 2022 press release Lessons learned from the River Oder disaster: research-based recommendations for action The man-made environmental disaster, resulting in masses of dead fish, mussels and snails, has caused severe damage to the Oder ecosystem. What can now be done to help the river – and how can the risk of such major ecological and economic damage be reduced in the future? IGB has published its recommendations in an IGB Policy Brief. 6 September 2022 press release Restoration of peatlands: Flooding is not the ideal solution Intact peatlands are habitats for many rare animal and plant species and important sinks for greenhouse gases. Many peatlands that have been converted to agricultural land should therefore be restored. A current study with IGB participation discusses different strategies for this. The authors make clear that the most commonly used method of flooding former peatlands is problematic. 5 September 2022 press release Floodplains improve the water quality of rivers Many rivers are polluted by nitrogen inputs. An international research project involving the IGB has now investigated for the first time the extent of these inputs, the extent to which they are reduced and the contribution made by floodplain areas to this in the Danube catchment area. The results show how useful the large-scale renaturation of river floodplains is for improving water quality. 2 September 2022 short news Nutrients in inland waters need to be reduced IGB has provided feedback on the EU action plan for better nutrient management. 2 September 2022 focus "Fatal risk from dammed rivers" “Those calling for more dams in response to drought and dry riverbeds have nothing understood – they promote habitats with potential for catastrophy,” wrote Christian Wolter in Terra X – Die Wissens-Kolumne. 1 September 2022 short news Nowa analiza: Dane satelitarne potwierdzają masowy zakwit glonów w Odrze Masowy zakwit glonów można wykryć w Odrze za pomocą danych satelitarnych. 1 September 2022 short news "Living Night" photo contest The night is for sleeping? Not for all creatures: More than half of all animals are active during twilight or at night. The research team on light pollution from IGB, the StadtNatur association and the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW) invite you to participate in the "Living Night" photo competition to draw attention to this fascinating diversity and to raise awareness of the importance of protecting nocturnal landscapes. Photograph nocturnal and crepuscular species, find artificial light sources and win great prizes.

In close coordination with the IGB, satellite data from the European Copernicus satellite Sentinel 2 were processed.
