On 21 January, Jan Vermaat will be giving a seminar to our department with the title “Ecosystem services as an analytical framework: it can help to answer questions of management, planning and policy”. His work centers on ecosystem services, catchment biogeochemistry and floodplains as well as macrophytes.
Jan is a professor at the Department of Environmental Sciences of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and research dean at the Faculty of Environmental Sciences and Natural Resource Management. He will be visiting our department on 21 and 22 January. The seminar will take place on 21 January, at 13:15 CET in 5D307 and on https://kau-se.zoom.us/j/65816884688!
On 27 February, Gabriele Consoli will be giving a seminar to our department with the title Ecomorphological effects of experimental floods in an alpine river: insights from the long-term e-flow program on the Spöl River. His work centers on the ways in which large wood and flow management affect rivers and their ecological functioning. Having a background in ecology and geomorphology, he now works as a postdoc at the River Ecosystems research group at the University of Lausanne (Switzerland), where he combines abiotic, biotic and drone data to find out how flow affects the geomorphology and ecology of streams.

On February 20, Dr. Frank Jauker will be giving a talk about his work on agricultural landscapes and biodiversity promotion at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen, Germany. He will specifically present the GreenGrass project, where many societal stakeholders work together to improve grazing management, with the ultimate goal of making dairy production more sustainable.
Attend the seminar via Zoom: https://kau-se.zoom.us/my/kaubiology, at 13:15 CET on February 20.
Tuesday 23 January 2024, kl. 13.15 or Room 5D307 (https://kau-se.zoom.us/j/65816884688). You are welcome!
Felix Eissenhauer, a PhD student at the University of New Brunswick, will be giving a seminar entitled “Ecology of the American eel (Anguilla rostrata) in a large tidal and hydropower-regulated river” over Zoom https://kau-se.zoom.us/j/65816884688 at 13:15 CET on December 5, 2023.
Felix’s work focuses on the ecology of the American eel in the Wolastoq River, a large tidal and hydropower-regulated river in Canada. He is studying how a hydropower dam affects the recruitment of eel elvers and using mark-recapture methods to assess their population size and demographics. Further, Felix uses acoustic telemetry to study the depth and thermal habitat use and the seasonal migration behaviour of yellow eels in the Wolastoq River.
You are welcome to join this seminar
