Welcome in the Aquatic Ecology Group

The Aquatic Ecology Group is involved in various aspects of pure and applied aquatic ecology and environmental sciences. Research projects include scientific investigations, but also applied studies or consulting on a local scale. The following topics are covered:

• Assessment of heavy metals in aquatic organisms

• Spatial analysis of environmental data 

• Applied studies on local scales 

Applied hydrobiological studies were conducted in cooperation with local authorities or consultants, e.g. regarding oxygen conditions in the River Ems in the context of a recently constructed barrier.
