• Press Release UFZ researcher receives Helmholtz Doctoral Award
In his doctoral thesis, Dr Pallav Kumar Shrestha developed methods that enable global hydrological models to be used more effectively for calculating local streamflow. Among other things, this improves early warning systems for flooding.»
By combining climate simulations with hydrological models, UFZ researchers are demonstrating the impact of climate change on flood patterns. This makes it clear that flood risks cannot be determined solely on the basis of changes in precipitation. »
By combining electrochemical and microbial processes, CO2 can be captured and the biochemical itaconic acid can be produced. Researchers at the UFZ, together with BOKU University Vienna, have demonstrated this and published their findings in “Angewandte Chemie, Int. Edition”. »
Prof Dr Josef Settele was an agroecologist by profession, a insect researcher by passion, a science communicator driven by his conviction and concern for biodiversity, and a great humanitarian. On 9 October, 2026, he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 65. »
Stream restoration often focuses on improving physical habitat structure. However, a new UFZ-led study shows that ecosystem functions frequently fail to recover. This poses a challenge for achieving the objectives of the EU Nature Restoration Regulation. »
