The "IGeo" represents an interface between basic and applied research. We are interested in natural climate variability as well as climate and human impact on aquatic ecosystems in both urban and remote, near-natural regions.
Our core areas in research and teaching are based on geoscientific, limnological, ecological and sediment-geological methods, GIS-based landscape reconstructions, and bioindication, the analysis and application of organisms as environmental and climate indicators. We use sediments as environmental archives for long-term monitoring of aquatic ecosystem dynamics.
We train our students in geo-ecosystem understanding so that they are well prepared to assess interdependencies and feedbacks within and outside the geo-ecosystem. Students are qualified for employments in the fields of landscape management, water quality assessment, conservation, (paleo-) climate research and able to develop concepts for environmental protection, especially under the aspects of future climate development and landuse, or to collaborate in international and interdisciplinary research programs.

Das Forschungsprojekt im Rahmen des Programms „Frenzen-Forschungsgeist!“ - Paläoökologie und menschlicher Einfluss auf den Bracciano See, mit speziellem Fokus auf die frühneolithische Siedlung La Marmotta startet.
Forschungsprojekt Klimawandel und früher Mensch startet. VolkswagenStiftung fördert Forschungsverbund mit 1,6 Mio. Euro.
Main focus of research is the assessment of regional effects of global climate change and the analysis of the processes that formed our immediate environment. Research projects address, for example:
All projects are interdisciplinary collaborations with institutions and universities in Germany and several other countries. All projects, including student research assistants, are financed by third-party-funding (DFG, BMBF, DAAD, MWK).
