Environmental Monitoring
Are we managing the environment in a sustainable way when it comes to water and aquatic ecosystems? SLU has an assignment from the government that is unique among Swedish universities: additional to education and research, SLU manages and implements Environmental Monitoring and Assessment (EMA). EMA delivers science based decision support needed to help us reach our environmental objectives, nationally as well as internationally.
We work in ten programmes
SLU's Environmental Monitoring and Assessment (EMA) meets society's need for decision support in ten programmes, linked to Sweden's national environmental objectives and international environmental cooperation. Each programme has one or two coordinators who act as contact points.
Several of the EMA programmes concern water and aquatic ecosystems:
- Acidification Programme
- Agricultural Landscape Programme
- Biodiversity Programme
- Coastal and Sea Areas Programme
- Eutrophication Programme
- Lakes and Watercourses Programme
- Non-Toxic Environment Programme
