ICTM is co-organizing the international multidisciplinary hybrid meeting BigBrain 2023, which will be held on 04-08. 12. 2023, at the Mathematical Institute of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Belgrade. More details are in the attached document.
Despite very challenging weather conditions, the BIOLAWEB researchers successfully completed the summer sampling of lakes throughout Serbia.
The BIOLAWEB team investigated four different lakes and, on that occasion, samples of phytoplankton, diatoms, and macrophytes were collected. These samples are intended for both microscopic observations and genetic-molecular analyses. In addition to biological investigations, researchers will thoroughly conduct chemical analyses of the water. This comprehensive approach ensures a complete understanding of the ecosystems of these lakes.
During this summer sampling, colleague Susanne Schneider from the Norwegian institute NIVA made a significant contribution with her presence at Savsko Lake and Plava Banja near Kikinda. She snorkeled on these lakes and took samples of macrophytes, and with additional activities, she helped with the overall ecosystem assessment of these lakes.
As the summer fieldwork is over, the BIOLAWEB team, in addition to other activities on the project, is eagerly preparing and awaiting autumn sampling.
