Aquatic fungal biodiversity

Multidisciplinary studies on the conditions leading to the mass development of toxic algae in the Odra river and on the occurred population losses of aquatic organisms and their regeneration, as well as on the strengthening of resilience, ecosystem services and development scenarios for the coupled river-floodplain ecosystem.

DANUBE4all will advance existing and develop new digital tools, Citizen Science and technical restoration measures to support fresh and transitional water ecosystem restoration.

Defining a safe operating space (SOS) for water resources in a changing climate and society is urgently needed to ensure a sufficient and reliable supply of water of a quality acceptable for human activity and natural ecosystems over the coming decades.

The hydrographr package in R allows scalable geospatial processing workflows to yield analysis-ready data in spatial freshwater biodiversity science.

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.
