Temperature dependence of a phytoplankton population in a 2D model of a coastal area

Due to climate change, the sea temperature is rising. This temperature change has an effect on the phytoplankton population. Phytoplankton is responsible for more than 50 percent of the oxygen production on earth, and is therefore crucial for life on earth. In this report, the research question is: is the temperature increase of the water...

Capturing and tracing the spatiotemporal variations of planktonic and particle-associated bacteria in an unchlorinated drinking water distribution system

The aperiodic changes in the quantity and community of planktonic and particle-associated bacteria have hampered the understanding and management of microbiological water quality in drinking water distribution systems. In this study, online sampling was combined with the microbial fingerprint-based SourceTracker2 to capture and trace the...

Ballast water

The world-wide transport of ballast water has been shown to be an effective distribution vector for numerous non-native organisms. Discharge of this ballast water may lead and has led to the introduction of these organisms into all kinds of fresh, brackish and seawater environments. In many cases, these unintended introductions had serious...
