Steven Declerck aangesteld tot hoogleraar bij de KU Leuven
Per 1 oktober heeft de Belgische universiteit KU Leuven Steven Declerck aangesteld tot hoogleraar aan het Departement Biologie. Steven Declerck is aquatisch ecoloog bij het Nederlands Instituut voor Ecologie (NIOO-KNAW), waar zijn onderzoek focust op het vermogen van zoöplankton zich aan te passen aan omgevingsveranderingen. In dit interview vertelt Declerck over zijn loopbaan en onderzoeksveld.

MBO of HBO stage: Analyzing freshwater zooplankton samples with the use of a deep learning based image analysis method (vacature in het Engels)
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. -

Stage of scriptie: Experiment on the effects of nitrogen limitation and warming on cyano-toxin concentrations (vacature in het Engels)
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. -

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.

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.
