Overview

Research

Most of our research is focused on current environmental issues, and is often conducted in collaboration with industry, authorities and organizations. Our research includes aquatic ecosystems and environmental issues such as environmental pollutants, climate change, eutrophication, biodiversity and ecological services such as the availability of clean drinking water.

The research in the Aquatic Sciences and Assessment program from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences is strongly linked with environmental assessment. For example, data from monitoring is used for research, and many times the aim of our research is to improve environmental assessment methods.
