The working group Environmental Monitoring of the GDCh Division of Environmental Chemistry & Ecotoxicology brings together scientists from various disciplines to exchange experiences and to contribute to the continuous improvement of the quality of environmental monitoring.

At two to three working group meetings a year, key topics are discussed. A particular concern is to make the collected monitoring data usable. As part of the Annual Conference "Environment", which the Division and SETAC-GLB will jointly organise, the working group will organise scientific sessions on current environmental monitoring topics.

Working Group members are actively involved in the following environmental monitoring projects:

Research projects of the Chair of Landscape Ecology
Prof. Dr. Winfried Schroeder, Chair of Landscape Ecology, University of Vechta

Project group: Federal Environmental Specimen Bank
Prof. Dr Martin Paulus, Chair of Biogeography, University of Trier

Substance-related monitoring and environmental quality assessment, Schmallenberg
Dr Heinz Rüdel, Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology (Fraunhofer IME)
