Final General Assembly from 9-11 July 2025
We started with Posters and continued with a synthesis of the generated knowledge of the past 6 years of TRACER. Our research has primarily focused on processes related to the natural attenuation of nutrients (especially NO3+), examining this phenomenon across various temporal scales (multidecadal, yearly, seasonal) and spatial scales (from biofilms to reaches and catchment levels). Additionally, some of us have investigated the effectiveness of different management practices and legislative frameworks in reducing nutrient loads in streams.
We made a great progress, but there are still a lot of new challenges coming up, especially considering that the boundary conditions are changing due to climate change. During the last day of the workshop we focused on different career opportunities after the PhD. Thanks to our external guests from UBA, BfG, UFZ and the state agencies. The insights from their jobs were really valuable!
