Research Group "Management Ecology of Marine Macrophytes" PI: Dr. Florian Weinberger

Research Focus

  • Drifting macroalgae and macroalgae blooms in the Baltic Sea
  • Hydrodynamic and aerodynamic effects on drifting macroalgae
  • Computational modelling of seaweed drifting behaviour

Projects

Disentangling the effects of currents, wind, waves and varying bottom structures on the drift velocity of morphologically diverse seaweeds and developing models to predict these effects. Our project ist funded by LfU Schleswig-Holstein. We work in close co-operation with the NIOZ (Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research) in Yerseke.
