Projects

Feeding urban populations is a global challenge, additionally straining the Food-Water-Energy Nexus. CITYFOOD provides innovative solutions by integrating aqua-agriculture systems into cities.

We have proudly hosted a number of researchers (interns, doctoral candidates, Postdocs) that came with their own funding. In the past we have hosted:

Effects of measures targeting reduction of nutrient intakes and changes in fish communities on re-establishment of charophyte meadows are tested over multiple years.

The project studies the ecology, use and socio-economic importance of Rügen pike and develops recommendations for sustainable management

Mass development of aquatic macrophytes – causes and consequences of macrophyte removal for ecosystem structure, function, and services

Spatio-temporal high-resolution analysis of water-based recreational activities, resulting impacts and conflicts of use, as well as derivation of a socio-ecological management concept.

The project studies the fisheries exploitation of the Western Baltic Cod taking the perspective of resilience and wants to help push the system towards a more desired state.
