Leuk Vroege Vogels festival op Fort Altena👍
Weer een mooie ochtend op de campus
Today, the new academic year has started with our course on Water Quality and Water Quantity. Students will learn the importance of a system analysis and how to determine surface water quality.
Klopt, van de in totaal 87 waarschuwingen betreft het in 34 gevallen een waarschuwing i.v.m. blauwalg.
Today, we started with our practical course Aquatic Ecology and Water Quality @WUR. 35 enthusiastic students determining parameter values for their model to describe the oxygen dynamics in one of the university ponds. A pike checked out their activities.
A magnificent book arrived.👌 Winfried Lampert's opus magnum on the waterflea Daphnia magna, four years after he passed away.🙏 A great pleasure to remember the fantastic time I had at his Max Planck Institute for Limnology, a privilege he mentored me during part of my PhD research👍

A really nice video from my colleagues in the Aquatic Ecosystems Group at UKCEH. Take a look to learn about a citizen science App to enable reporting and analysis of algal blooms in the UK and beyond: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kfK...

Schandalig, 130 - 180 banen weg bij één van de beste universiteiten ter wereld. Populisten in Den Haag snappen kennelijk niet dat je dient te investeren in onderzoek en onderwijs i.p.v. er op te bezuinigen. 🤨

Wageningen Universiteit schrapt banen vanwege bezuinigingen
De komende jaren verdwijnen er waarschijnlijk 130 tot 180 banen.

Very nice to see the Phoslock application at Lake De Ster, Belgium (7 ha, max. depth 10 m).
Great day for sampling🌞
Leuke verrassing gisteren. Ik mocht met m'n dochter mee naar het optreden van Inhaler in de Ziggo Dome. Deed wat denken aan jaren 80 Indierock🎶🎵🎸💪
Kijk eens wat een mooie poster ik tegenkwam en Rob en Petra natuurlijk ook. 😉 Gaaf werk👍
Got some nice pictures from the team today of the application of the P-binder Phoslock to lake De Ster (Belgium). Sediment cores have been taken and half of them will be treated with Phoslock to mimic the application in the lab.
April 15/16, under guidance of Limnological Solutions Int., the novel P-binder LimnoPLUS (aka Zeofixer, 10% La) was applied for the 1st time to an isolated lake in Europe. The lake had an internal load issue, let's see how it develops. Experiment with sediment cores runs in parallel in our lab.
We took some sediment cores out of the Groenlo canal and inspected a few low bridges too😂
Great day for sampling😎
