Laufende Projekte
Blue Estuaries 2020 – 2023
Nachhaltige Ästuar-Entwicklung unter Klimawandel und anderen Stressoren.
Untersucht werden in diesem Teilprojekt die Rolle von Schadstoffen als Stressoren in den Ästuaren von Elbe und Oder. Die Ergebnisse werden in eine Systemanalyse mit Hilfe partizipativer Stakeholder Workshops integriert.
Sullied Sediments 2017 – 2020
Im Rahmen dieses durch das Interreg Nord-Programm geförderten Projektes werden an 9 Standorten in 3 Flussgebieten chemische, ökotoxikologische und Lebensgemeinschaftsdaten erhoben, um daraus Empfehlungen für eine neues integriertes Bewertungssystem für kontaminierte Sedimente zu erarbeiten.
MANTICC 2018- 2021
Welche Ursachen hat die synergistische Wirkung von Cadmium und nano-Titandioxid unter Lichteinfluss auf Nematoden?
Abgeschlossene Projekte
Current projects
aquatic toxicity of lanthanum 2012-2017.
What is known about aquatic ecotoxicity of lanthaum. Are industrial emissions into the Rhine river of concern?
Reechange 2016-2019.
“Rare Earth Element Ecotoxicology in a Changing Environment”. This project aims at a risk evaluation from lanthanum and gadolinium emissions to the aquatic environment.
Sullied Sediments 2017-2020
Within this Interreg-Project sediments are collected from 9 sites across 3 different rivers. Chemical, ecotoxicological and community data are gathered and will be the basis for the development of a new integrated sediment classification system.
MANTICC 2018– 2021
What causes the synergistic effects of cadmium and nano-titaniumdioxide to nematodes?
Der Tideelbe-Komplex seit 2014
Im Rahmen der Hamburg Open Online University will dieses Projekt den Bürgern der Region das komplexe System “Tideelbe” näherbringen.

SedTrans 2009 –2012
Modelling transport and fate of particle-bound substances in the catchment of the Middle Elbe. For better understanding mobility and deposition of particles in groyne fields, a hydrodynamic model was developed.
Nano Ecotox 2010 – 2013
The Focus of this study is the impact of light exposure on the ecotoxicity of the particles as well as the particles’ effects on co-contaminants on Caenorhabditis elegans
ELLI – Elbe Literature Data base 2011-2014
Set up of a comprehensive literature data base for Elbe-relevant publications.
Backwaters of the Elbe River, Part I 2012-2013
Sediments in side structures and backwaters in the Elbe watershed. Do they provide a risk for the river?
