AI can contribute to the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Developement Goals, especially at the ecological level. However, AI can also impede the implementation of measures, especially at the social level. 13 January 2020 press release Neither fishing tales nor sailor's yarn Robert Arlinghaus has developed a method for combining the empirical knowledge of fishery stakeholders in such a way that the result corresponds to the best scientific understanding. This is of particular interest when human and financial resources are insufficient to achieve a profound scientific understanding or when, for example, fish stock data cannot be retroactively recorded. 18 December 2019 press release Light pollution can suppress melatonin production in humans and animals Melatonin sets the internal clock. Researchers from IGB in an international team have analyzed data on the impact of light pollution on melatonin formation in humans and vertebrates. They found that even the low light intensities of urban skyglow can suppress melatonin production. Melatonin influences the metabolism and other body functions. 5 December 2019 press release Oxygen-rich lakes are a source of methane Oxygen-rich lakes with good water quality are an underestimated source of methane shows a recent study by Swansea University and IGB. 7 November 2019 press release Ecologically intact rivers are worth billions to European countries According to a study by Robert Arlinghaus, the willingness-to-pay per capita in Germany for ecologically intact rivers would be about 675 euros per year. 29 October 2019 press release IGB Policy Brief: Strengths and weaknesses of the Water Framework Directive The IGB Policy Brief recommends continued commitment to the objectives of the WFD and improved practical implementation – and offers options for action to policy makers and practitioners. 16 September 2019 press release Fungicides as an underestimated hazard for freshwater organisms Justyna Wolinska and her Team have found that pollution by fungicides can have unforeseen but far-reaching consequences for the functioning of aquatic systems – like indirectly on the development of algal blooms. 11 September 2019 press release "Planting water" is possible – against aridity and droughts Dörthe Tetzlaff and her team have developed a mathematical model that can reflect the complex interplays between vegetation, soil and water regimes. 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. 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.
