Climate effects on the aquatic envirionment

Freshwater

Models are developed to serve as prognosis tools for the effects of climate changes on the hydrological regime, nutrient loss and changes in the biodiversity of streams and lakes. Our research into the ecological effects of climate changes is undertaken both as experimental laboratory and field experiments and as comparative studies between South America and Denmark , investigations along climate gradients ranging from the Arctic to the tropics supplemented by paleolimnological studies.

Marine areas

The Department of Marine Ecology has a number of projects which deal with climate changes and development of climate scenarios.

New organisation

As per 1 July 2011 the National Environmental Research Institute (NERI) has been closed down. The research activities are now gathered at the Department of Bioscience and the Department of Environmental Science. In the future, consultancy services to authorities etc. will be provided by the DCE - Danish Centre for Environment and Energy on the basis of input from these two and other Aarhus University departments. The information available at www.neri.dk will be rearranged accordingly in the coming months. Read more about the DCE - Danish Centre for Environment and Energy.
