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
Post graduate education
We educate doctoral student within the subject areas environmental science, environmental science (environmental chemistry), and ecology. Since 1997,more than 60 doctoral theses and ten licentiate
Laboratories
Our laboratories have long experiences of accredited and quality assured analyses of water chemistry, aquatic biology and organic risk pollutants. The laboratories are accredited by SWEDAC since the
Geochemical laboratory
The laboratory is analysing the chemical composition of inland waters. We are since 1992 accredited by SWEDAC for the analyses of about 40 different parameters, as well as for sampling.
