Environmental monitoring and assessment
SLU has a unique role among Swedish universities through its commission to perform environmental monitoring and assessment. This is based on society's needs, as expressed in national environmental targets, international commitments and the overall objective of long-term sustainable development.
Biodiversity laboratory
We analyse the spices composition and biomass of aquatic organisms in lakes and streams. The information is used to assess the quality of the waters and habitats, as well as various indicator
“Remediation of headwater streams is the missing link”
Agricultural headwaters are everywhere but at the same time much overlooked, despite their important role in regulating functions and quality of downstream ecosystems. They are often seen as passive
Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment
Our research, education and environmental monitoring and assessment is focused on bettering our understanding of environmental changes of inland surface waters, as well as analyses of the underlying

Environmental Assessment
To make it easier to detect problems in the environment, to contribute with scientific evidence, and to follow on measures, we collect, store, quality assure, and make available water chemistry and
Biological recipient monitoring at the Ringhals nuclear power plant – fish and invasive species
Potential ecosystem effects caused by the effluent cooling water from the Ringhals nuclear power plant are monitored in yearly surveys by Institute of Coastal Research, Department of Aquatic
SLU and the climate
What does SLU do for the climate? We provide knowledge, decision support and facts about climate solutions. We teach our students about sustainability, and they inspire us to further reduce our
