In an interview, IGB doctoral student Helena Huđek and her scientific supervisor Martin Pusch report on the state of Europe’s rivers, and how to get them flowing again. 28 January 2021 press release Acid rain is yesterday’s news? Acid rain seems to be a thing of the past, yet sulphate continues to rise in many inland waters worldwide. A new study provides an overview of the sources of sulphate and its effects on freshwater ecosystems. 26 January 2021 short news The long arm of opencast mining Giulia Friedland and Michael Hupfer have investigated whether and to what extent mining products from the Lusatian mining are deposited in the sediments of the River Spree: their signature in the river bed reaches 90 kilometres. 10 December 2020 short news Corona lockdown makes stars brighter As a measure against the COVID-19 pandemic, public life was severely restricted for the first time in March 2020. But, did this also alter light pollution – the brightening of the night sky caused by too much artificial light? 21 September 2020 press release Citizen science: research project on light pollution seeks support What effect does street lighting have on insects and what could an environment-friendly lighting design look like? This is what researchers are investigating together with citizen scientists in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Hesse and Brandenburg. 3 April 2020 press release Do urban fish exhibit impaired sleep? Light pollution can suppress the production of melatonin in fish, even at very low light intensities, a finding established by Franziska Kupprat, Franz Hölker and Werner Kloas from IGB. 20 March 2020 short news Making citizen science more participatory, inclusive and citizen-led The ACTION Accelerator team – led by IGB’s Kat Austen – works with on-the-ground citizen science projects that address pollution. Eleven citizen science projects joined us at IGB for a workshop. 20 January 2020 press release Against light pollution: Guidelines for outdoor lighting A new guideline describes how local authorities can succeed in minimising light pollution by making their street and building lighting more efficient. 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.
