Research "Ecosystem Resilience"
Topics
We aim to understand if and how ecosystems can handle environmental stress with a focus on contaminants.
- Global pesticide exposure assessment
- Meta-analysis of environmental data
- Contaminant effects in aquatic systems at various scales of complexity
- Contaminant removal processes in constructed wetlands and vegetated ditches
- Risk assessment and management strategies for agricultural chemicals and GMO
