Projects

Shrimp farming rapidly expanded over the last two decades, but animal welfare has largely been overlooked. Only recently, welfare considerations paved the route for stricter regulations on animal welfare in decapod crustaceans.

SO-SCALE aims to achieve a novel integrated, cross-compartmental and cross-scale understanding of the partitioning of incoming precipitation in agricultural systems. 

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

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.

New sYsteM-driven bioremediation of Polluted Habitats and Environment

The AquaINFRA project will develop a virtual research environment that will allow seamless data discovery and processing through a single interface to promote Open Science.

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.
