Projects

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.

LILA (Lake Issyk-Kul Environmental Laboratory)

Effects of non-stationary flow and a moving riverbed on organic trace substances.

BioAgora aims to connect research results on biodiversity to the needs of decision-making in a targeted dialogue between scientists, other knowledge holders and policy actors. 

The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and is an important hotspot for aquatic invasions in the Western Hemisphere. This project intends to understand better fish invasion dynamics in this major canal after its expansion in 2016.

Nature based solutions in cities can help mitigate the negative effects of future climate change and improve biodiversity and urban life.

Our current era is characterized by increasing amounts of data and information that make it increasingly hard to gain and keep an overview of research fields. To tackle this challenge and using the research field of invasion science as an example, we will develop an open and interactive navigation tool that allows to dive into the field’s research questions and hypotheses, discover relevant publications and datasets.
