Projects

This project is developing tools and methods to study biodiversity and the possible consequences of ecosystem change in small water bodies.

The goal of this project is to advance theory on the development of behavioral individuality.

Using the example of the western Baltic cod (Gadus morhua), in this project we are interdisciplinarily studying questions of responsibility and reorganization of the commercial and recreational fisheries.

The “GeoFRESH” online platform will allow high-resolution geospatial queries of the global hydrographic network, and enables users to download analysis-ready environmental data.

The relative influence of biodiversity and biotic interactions on the early stages of phytoplankton bloom formation.

The nature of interactions between the freshwater mosses, their microbiome, and the associated toxic cyanobacteria

Neurotoxic cyanobacteria in association with aquatic plants pose a real health threat, which could even further increase in the future.

In this scientific network, we are investigating social-ecological networks in urban areas in an international and interdisciplinary team over a period of three years.
