Description
Please use the IP workshops to exchange about collaborations across Research Units. The workshop structures vary, but should focus on discussing current progress and plans for the future.
Lab tours provide opportunities for discussion facilitating potential new connections. Some lab tours will be offered several times. Additional workshops are offered by HIGRADE, ÖA and WTT.
By presenting an inventory of current projects and research activities at experimental platforms of the UFZ this workshops aims to discuss synergies and complementarities in experimental field research to identify gaps and potentials for future collaborations within and across research units. (including a query among the participants (also in relation to POF goals)
The workshop will introduce to an updated biodiversity monitoring metadata tool based on FAIR principles. It will show the importance of a "common language" using updated thesauri. Participants will learn how to use the metadata tool and have the option to further discuss the sematic artefacts with a reflection on their own projects, ideally from different realms.
In this workshop we want to share our experience - on i) Trace element analytics (ICP-OES and ICP-MS), ii) Basic and nutrient analytics (N and P compounds photometrically with Continuous Flow Analyzer, major cations and anions with ICS and C sum parameters with carbon analyzers Dimatoc and VarioEL), iii) Pigment analytics (HPLC and Chlorophyll-a photometric according to DIN) as well as iv)...
Bisphenol A (BPA), used in consumer plastic products, has been restricted due to its harmful effects, e.g., reproductive impairment, neurodevelopmental disturbance, immunological disorders or metabolic disruption. However, BPA has been replaced by structurally similar analogues like BPB, BPF, BPS or BPAF, which have not been sufficiently studied. This lab tour will present model systems and...
Mass cytometry based on CyTOF® (cytometry by time of flight) technology is currently the world's most advanced technology for single cell protein analysis. Antibodies are conjugated with rare earth (metal) isotopes of defined atomic masses, allowing the simultaneous identification of theoretically up to 50 protein markers in one cell. The HyperionTM Imaging System combines CyTOF® technology...
The labtour takes place through the technikum of the UBZ and will show the microbiology laboratory and the standardised stirred tank bioreactors in different scales. Yeast processes and their bio-products like citric acid are explained with the focus on the use of different substrates. In addition, the importance of substrates from residues and by-products will discussed and leads on to the...
Biofilm cultivation for the continuous production of "white H2".
Laser laboratory: demonstration of membrane chips for O2/H2 extraction, demo of microscale O2 and pH analysis
Sample preparation, instrumentation and approaches for single-cell and subcellular SIMS-imaging (nanoSIMS und ToF-SIMS) with preservation of cell structure and chemical composition will be introduced during the tour. Fluorescent labelling via FISH technique and the following microscopic investigation for cell phylogenetic identification and quantification of cell abundance in various...
High-resolution microscopes provide insight into the structure of microscopic objects. At ProVIS the scanning electron- and helium-ion microscopes are embedded in the correlative workflows alongside with microanalytical techniques, such as SIMS. During the tour the participants will learn about applications in (environmental-)microbiology, the basic principles of the microscopes, sample...
The LSI has know-how in the analytics of light element stable isotopes (HCNOS and Cl) for more than 25 years. It offers most modern laboratory equipment, holds several methodological patents and acts as reference laboratory. Core competences are online component specific isotope analyses (CSIA). The experience at LSI is applied in a large variety of process studies (e.g. visualization of...
What happens beneath the Earth’s surface? Monitoring and exploration technologies are essential for the observation of both natural and anthropogenic influenced processes and their impacts in the subsurface. Conventional sampling methods often lack adequate spatial and temporal resolution, so MET develops and tests application-oriented methods, technologies and strategies. In our lab tour we...
Human behaviour, socio-technical infrastructures and governance arrangements determine jointly with biophysical conditions the option space for a sustainable use of landscapes. In the IP6 projects, a number of spatially explicit monitoring and modelling approaches are carried out to capture the socio-technical processes and patterns that shape the management of landscapes across environmental...
Identifying knowledge gaps in soil organic matter turnover and pollutant degradation with a focus on microbial processes, developing methods to analyse important aspects with lab-, field experiments and remote sensing and concepts to improve existing modeling approaches
Inter- and transdisciplinary research approaches are becoming more prominent and are increasingly required by funding agencies. Hmm, the latter is something about stakeholders, right? In fact, do we really know what inter- and transdisciplinarity means and how to apply it in our research? This workshop aims to provide researchers with more conceptual clarity and gives illustrative examples...

Pollinating insects like bees fulfil crucial ecosystemic functions but are under multiple stress caused by biodiversity loss of food sources, the loss of breeding places, and chemicals used for plant protection in agriculture. The ongoing activities at the UFZ range from aspects of biodiversity of bees, the impact of chemicals on bee's health, the modelling of colony growth of honeybees to the...
