This course builds on Aquatic Ecology I and cannot be taken separately. It aims to extend the covered concepts and apply them to natural and experimental systems.The course contains research projects, a 1-day excursion to a lake as well as a 3-day excursion to rivers.

Practical fieldwork and applied research methods in aquatic ecology, with a focus on river and lake ecosystems. Students learn to formulate and investigate scientific questions, apply field and laboratory techniques, and interpret ecological data in real-world contexts.
