Description
Please use the parallel storyline sessions on Day 1 to get informed about the storylines and bring in your potential contributions to a particular storyline. You might also want to contact the responsible persons of the storylines before the Science Days to find out how to best contribute. The storyline session structures may vary. On Day 2 some storyline sessions may be closed sessions.
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.
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...

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 However, BPA has been replaced by structurally similar analogues like BPB, BPF, BPS or BPAF, which have not been sufficiently studied.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...
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...

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...
The 2015 Paris Agreement emphasized the importance of carbon dioxide removal in global emission pathways and Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs) that capture carbon from the atmosphere and remove it from the system have since been in the spotlight. NETs range from innovative, engineered technologies, to well-known approaches like afforestation. To understand the potential contribution of...
