When IGB was offered to make a video for Berlin Science Week 2021, we asked the artists Francisca Rocha Goncalves (AQUATAG Project) and Kat Austen (ACTION Project), to get involved.
Der Kurzfilm streift die historischen Nutzungen der Lahn und präsentiert dann fünf wichtige Ökosystemleistungen der Lahn, von der Anwohner und Touristen bereits jetzt in unterschiedlichem Maß profitieren.
Global warming is increasing the temperatures of lakes worldwide. Benjamin Kraemer teamed up with colleagues to quantify the long-term temperature changes in 139 lakes worldwide.
IGB-Forscher Christian Wolter gibt ein Webinar zum Mortalitätsindex für Fische an Wasserkraftanlagen. Das Projekt wurde vom Bundesamt für Naturschutz (BfN) initiiert und finanziert.
The video shows the River Spree from the source in Saxony to the mouth in River Havel. It gives an introduction to anthropogenic impacts (lignite mining and urban influences) on River Spree and field work methods (water and sediment sampling) frequently used by our Department of Chemical Analytics and Biogeochemistry.
The video shows the field work of our working group “Ground water – surface water interactions” at the River Erpe in Berlin/Brandenburg (Germany). The scientists give a short introduction to field methods in the hyporheic zone that are frequently used by the group.
This video shows a column experiment simulating bank filtration to investigate the effects of benthic organisms (Nuttall's waterweed and Quagga mussels) on trace organic compounds.
Truls Hansson, doctoral student in the Department of Experimental Limnology at IGB, has made a video on how the production of methane from lakes (‘farting’ lakes) might contribute to climate change.
Michael Thayne, doctoral student in the Department of Ecosystem Research at IGB, explains how lakes can have a natural resilience that helps their ecosystems to recover from the effects of climate change and other human pressures.
