Symposium "Aquatic ecosystems in a dynamic world: research across timescales" (Engelstalig)
This symposium explores how long-term research on aquatic ecosystems can be the key to sustainable future waters. This symposium is associated with the construction of a new Chair in Aquatic Ecosystem Dynamics between the University of Utrecht and Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) and features invited guests from around the world. -

Inaugural lecture Suzanne McGowan: still waters in a dynamic world
In February Suzanne McGowan will give her inaugural lecture. She was appointed professor of Aquatic Ecosystem Dynamics at Utrecht University. Her lecture is followed by a symposium the next day. -
Two new research projects to improve water management
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. -
Twee onderzoeksprojecten van start om watermanagement te verbeteren
Meren spelen een grote rol in het leveren van ecosysteemdiensten. Maar de ecologische status en waterkwaliteit van deze meren is vaak nog niet goed genoeg, en wordt verder bedreigd door de effecten van klimaatverandering. Twee nieuwe projecten van het Nederlands Instituut voor Ecologie (NIOO-KNAW) gaan op zoek naar een oplossing voor dit probleem. -
Freshwater systems: a neglected piece of the carbon storage puzzle
Inland waters can help us mitigate climate change by storing carbon in the sediments. However, for a long time, they were ignored as a player in carbon sequestration ―the process of removing CO2 from the atmosphere, transforming it, and storing it underground. Carbon sequestration happens in ecosystems all around the world. Forests and oceans are most well-known for sequestering carbon, but freshwater ecosystems are also good at it. To put this in perspective: inland waters might sequester up to 20% of the amount of carbon sequestered by the oceans, even though they cover <5.6% of the oceans’ area. -
Symposium: Water level dynamics as a guiding factor for management
On Friday 8 November, the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW), National Park Nieuw Land and OBN Natuurkennis organise a symposium around water level dynamics in the management of nature reserves, with presentations by researchers and practical examples.
