End of 'SeeWandel' international research project

13.06.2023 - Since 2018, researchers from three countries have been studying how Lake Constance is responding to nutrient decline, invasive species and climate change. The results, which show that these stress factors have a significant impact on the ecosystem, will be presented and discussed at two events in Constance to mark the end of the project.

Riverscape – sediment dynamics and connectivity

The research project ‘Riverscape – sediment dynamics and connectivity’ combines the topics of hydraulic engineering and ecology. Researchers have worked together to establish fundamental principles and propose solutions for the restoration of sediment dynamics and habitat connectivity. The most important results relevant to practice are presented in this publication.
