Site Description
The Interuniversity Centre for Aquatic Ecosystem Research, WasserCluster Lunz Biologische Station GmbH (WCL), is located on the shore of Lake Lunz („Lunzer See“) in the south of the Austrian province of Lower Austria. It is an interdisciplinary freshwater research center and designed to advance and teach freshwater science. WasserCluster Lunz is an independent research institute, with close ties to three Universities (University of Vienna, University of Natural Resources (BOKU) and Applied Life Sciences, Danube University Krems). Currently four working groups are located at WCL, covering research on biogeochemistry, biodiversity & conservation, microbial ecology, food webs, ecotoxicology and restoration ecology. Research ...
