  4. Two new research projects to improve water management

    News
    Lakes play a major role in providing ecosystem services. But the ecological status and water quality of these lakes is often still not good enough, and is further threatened by the effects of climate change. Two new projects at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) will look for solutions to this problem.

  8. MBO or HBO internship: Analyzing freshwater zooplankton samples with the use of a deep learning based image analysis method

    Internship
    In this internship project, we will explore how newly developed software for image analysis based on state-of-the-art deeplearning methods may contribute to the analysis of zooplankton samples.

  9. Internship or thesis: Experiment on the effects of nitrogen limitation and warming on cyano-toxin concentrations

    Internship
    Toxic cyanobacterial blooms threaten freshwater quality, exacerbated by climate change and eutrophication. The toxicity of these blooms depends not only on cyanobacteria quantity but also on the presence of potentially toxin-producing species and genotypes, and the variation in their toxin production. While we understand the individual factors driving these changes, contrasting effects on different components of bloom toxicity make predicting toxicity levels challenging.

  10. NIOO in the media

    A lot of research is done at NIOO. Of course we communicate the results ourselves, but a diverse array of national and international media often pick up our news as well. On this page you can find a selection of articles and interviews.
