Education
If you are interested in delving deeper into water-related issues, welcome to explore our information on courses at undergraduate, advanced, and research levels we are involved in. Also, we offer a certification course for water sampling.
Research
Our research concerns everyone in Sweden, as water is a vital resource that affects everything from our health and food production to biodiversity and climate adaptation.
Environmental assessment
Environmental monitoring and assessment of freshwater provides long-term data series from our lakes and watercourses. This is crucial for making well-informed decisions on the management, protection, and sustainable use of our water resources.
