In an interview, they explain how these apps work and why remote sensing is so useful for their research. 6 September 2019 insight A Good Meeting: The 16th Symposium of Aquatic Microbial Ecology The #SAME16 in Potsdam provided an ideal platform for networking and discussions not only on current knowledge gaps and the future of aquatic microbiology, but also on emerging problems in times of climate change. 12 August 2019 insight Light or heavy oxygen? In order to characterise a lake comprehensively, it is also necessary to understand the material flows. Dr. Alexander Frank from the GeoZentrum Nordbayern at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg is particularly interested in oxygen fluxes. 8 August 2019 press release 88 percent decline of big freshwater animals IGB scientists have quantified the global decline of big freshwater animals: From 1970 to 2012, global populations of freshwater megafauna declined by 88 percent. Large fish species are particularly affected. 5 August 2019 insight Exploring the water quality of lakes from a distance A number of scientists from Spain, Australia, England and the USA, whose special interest lies in remote sensing, have joined the limnologists permanently working at the LakeLab for an experiment. 1 August 2019 short news LakeLab: River-lake systems in focus Aquatic ecosystems suffer disproportionately from anthropogenic pressure and the effects of climate change. According to the EU Water Framework Directive, lakes along river systems in particular are currently in poor ecological condition. How similar are lakes that are more or less strongly connected by rivers and how do algal blooms spread along lake chains? These and other questions are being investigated by an IGB research team led by Stella Berger and Sabine Wollrab together with other partners from remote sensing and landscape ecology. 30 July 2019 insight Permanent professorship for IGB/FU researcher Jonathan Jeschke Jonathan Jeschke has passed the five-year “Heisenberg test”, and has now been appointed to a permanent professorship. He embarked on his research into biological invasions with his Ecological Novelty research group at both the IGB and FU Berlin in 2014. 15 July 2019 insight IGB Acting Director Mark Gessner Receives Honorary Doctorate The Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier has awarded an honorary doctorate to Professor Dr. Mark Gessner for his scientific achievements in limnology. He has undertaken pioneering work on leaf litter breakdown in freshwater ecosystems. Congratulations! 12 July 2019 short news Research for Free Flowing Rivers The River Intellectuals bring together young committed people from science and conservation for river conservation in the Balkans. Bonus: behind-the-sciences video about IGB research on the Vjosa. Roll it! 1 July 2019 press release Environmentally friendly control of common disease infecting fish and amphibians Aquatic organisms are threatened by fungal and fungal-like diseases globally. There are few approved chemical means for combating these pathogens, and many have unwanted side-effects. IGB scientists propose 7 biological alternatives.
