Liana received her Master Degree in Geography "Mensch-Umwelt-Systeme" at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. In her Master-thesis she investigated the benefits and possibilities of green infrastructure of different urban areas in Berlin with the Green Infrastructure tool and ArcGIS.

In 2017 she joined our working group to organise and carry out the Kleingewässermonitoring project (KgM), a nationwide monitoring of small streams in agricultural catchments. She is focusing on optimizing indices, the role of biological interactions and effects of multiple stressors.
