In September 2022, Laura Coulson from the working group BIGER successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled "Impacts of intermittency on temperate stream biofilms and their role in the carbon cycle." under the supervision of Thomas Hein, and the co-supervision of Gabriele Weigelhofer from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna. Christian Griebler and Jakob Schelker were also cooperational partners for ther thesis from the University of Vienna.
Congratulations!
We're grateful for your interest in our research institute's open house program. At this year's two-day open (lab) day, where you listened to scientific lectures and discussed with our research group leaders on Friday evening and were active at our hands-on stations around water chemistry, water music, and aquatic animals on Saturday afternoon, we counted about 200 visitors in total. We are looking forward to presenting our new research results to you next year.
A lot happened again in 2022 in our institute. Read about the following topics in our current newsletter - unfortunately only in German.
- Unsere einjährige Nachhaltigkeitsinitiative
- Laubabbau in Bächen
- Probenahmen in Finnland

Three more months to go. Highlight the dates September 2 and 3 already in your calenders. After a break of two years we are happy to open our (laboratory) doors to invite you to our open days, this year for two days. Friday evening from 6 p.m. you will get an insight into our current research topics through exciting lectures of our working group leaders. Awaken your enthusiasm for science on Saturday from 13:30 pm onwards through shared experimenting with water chemistry, plankton and aquatic insects. Guided tours through laboratories, information about the history of our research institute, and of course a puzzle rally with great prizes await you.
On May 20, 2022 WasserCluster Lunz was represented in three locations in Lower Austria (ISTA Klosterneuburg, Universität für Weiterbildung Krems, BAW Petzenkirchen) at the Lange Nacht der Forschung. At the Federal Office of Water Management with our stand on the topic "What lives in the water" we presented algae and animals of the local waters. The visitors could examine them closely and could learn more about their habitats and way of life.
