Environmental observatories and mobile platforms
In the environemntal observatories and mobile platforms, in which UFZ scientists are involved, environmental parameters and ecological communities are recorded. Modern instruments and human expertise are used for this purpose. In contrast to the experimental platforms, the objects of study are not manipulated.
TERENO – Observatory
Is a network of four observatories for integrated environmental monitoring in particularly climate-sensitive areas in Germany.
eLTER – European Infrastructure
with several hundred observation areas for long-term observation and research of ecosystems and the "Critical Zone".
MOSES – Observatory
Mobile and flexible observing system designed to capture highly dynamic, often extreme events.
MOSAIC – Exploration platform
MOSAIC is a platform for the model-based, high-resolution exploration of complex subsurface structures with minimally invasive methods.
Our environmental observatories and mobile platforms offer a variety of starting points for future research projects.
