Lake sediments can retain phosphorus. In laboratory tests, an IGB team has investigated the conditions under which this retention is long-term. 8 July 2021 short news Urban water pollution is a major threat to groundwater and freshwater ecosystems IGB gives feedback on the revision of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD). 16 April 2021 short news Trace substances are transformed primarily in the hyporheic zone As part of her doctoral thesis, Birgit Müller investigated how trace organic compounds are transformed with other organic substances in flowing waters and at the boundary between water and sediment. 22 March 2021 focus Broken lifelines: too many barriers in Europe’s rivers Today is World Water Day. 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.
