It's worth a glimpse!

The UDEs and its partner universities’ excellent water research has prevailed in the first round of the two-stage competition as part of the Excellence Strategy from the federal and state governments with the research project ‘REASONS – river ecosystems in the anthropocene, sustainable scientific solutions’.

The interdisciplinary research team of the proposed Cluster of Excellence REASONS develop a concept for the management of freshwater ecosystems to ensure their resilience  for future challenges such as climate change.

The CRC RESIST "Multilevel response to stressor increase and release in stream ecosystems" aims to unravel the interactions of multiple stressors in rivers. With manipulative lab and field experiments, field studies and models we will test why, when and how stressors interact – and develop options for mitigation and restoration.
