Current research projects

Drought management, integrated water management concepts and improved water storage in the Berlin-Brandenburg region

Quantification of resilience of water resources in carbonate aquifers to drought conditions

Development of data assimilation techniques for reactive transport processes: real-time prediction of nitrate migration in porous media (DFG Research Project)

Bank filtration is a common method for sustainable drinking water production especially in regions with limited groundwater. Contaminants in surface waters, as e.g., pathogens like viruses and bacteria ...

As part of GRaCCE, this project aims to delineate a fractured aquifer using the DTS (Distributed Temperature Sensor) and the ERT (Electrical Resistivity Tomography) instrument and characterize the water flow within the vadose zone in a fractured aquifer.

Sustainable development of lignite succession landscapes from the perspective of water availability in Berlin-Brandenburg and in consideration of climate change

Pesticide contamination reduction and removal: prevention, recycling and resource management

The effects of climate change are already evident in the Spree catchment in the form of temperature rise and increased evapotranspiration rates, putting local groundwater resources under water stress.
