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. 5 September 2019 short news IGB tests species protection through environmentally friendly lighting IGB coordinates a six-year joint project to implement a new street lighting design aimed at minimising light pollution. 27 August 2019 insight Science meets soulbottles Within the workshop series "Uncharted Waters", the IGB regularly invites interesting representatives from businesses, associations and politics to an open exchange. This time, the team of soulbottles was our guest. 1 August 2019 short news Open Call for Citizen Science Projects on Pollution ACTION supports citizen science projects working on pollution of all kinds, such as water, air or light pollution. IGB will be coordinating the ACTION Accelerator programme. Apply till 31st October 2019! 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. 6 June 2019 press release Microorganisms on microplastic Organisms can grow on microplastics and accumulate in the water. Researchers from IGB and IOW have shown that potentially toxin-fproducing microorganisms are also among the top colonisers. 21 March 2019 insight Along the river Spree: on the trail of sulfate and Co. In March 2019, IGB researchers and technicians sampled the Spree and its tributaries. They have been doing this once a year since 2015, from the source in Upper Lusatia to the estuary into the Havel. The background is the contamination with sulphate and iron from the brown coal mining regions of Lusatia. 18 March 2019 focus “Fencing in is not an option” Freshwaters play a central role when it comes to recreational activities. Markus Venohr and Christian Wolter are investigating how such activities affect the ecosystems of lakes and rivers in the new AQUATAG project.
