Weer een mooie ochtend op de campus

Goodmorning campus

Today, the new academic year has started with our course on Water Quality and Water Quantity. Students will learn the importance of a system analysis and how to determine surface water quality.

Today, we started with our practical course Aquatic Ecology and Water Quality @WUR. 35 enthusiastic students determining parameter values for their model to describe the oxygen dynamics in one of the university ponds. A pike checked out their activities.

A magnificent book arrived.👌 Winfried Lampert's opus magnum on the waterflea Daphnia magna, four years after he passed away.🙏 A great pleasure to remember the fantastic time I had at his Max Planck Institute for Limnology, a privilege he mentored me during part of my PhD research👍

Very nice to see the Phoslock application at Lake De Ster, Belgium (7 ha, max. depth 10 m).

Great day for sampling🌞

Leuke verrassing gisteren. Ik mocht met m'n dochter mee naar het optreden van Inhaler in de Ziggo Dome. Deed wat denken aan jaren 80 Indierock🎶🎵🎸💪

Kijk eens wat een mooie poster ik tegenkwam en Rob en Petra natuurlijk ook. 😉 Gaaf werk👍

Got some nice pictures from the team today of the application of the P-binder Phoslock to lake De Ster (Belgium). Sediment cores have been taken and half of them will be treated with Phoslock to mimic the application in the lab.

April 15/16, under guidance of Limnological Solutions Int., the novel P-binder LimnoPLUS (aka Zeofixer, 10% La) was applied for the 1st time to an isolated lake in Europe. The lake had an internal load issue, let's see how it develops. Experiment with sediment cores runs in parallel in our lab.

We took some sediment cores out of the Groenlo canal and inspected a few low bridges too😂

Great day for sampling😎

A beautiful day with a thin ice layer covering the pond and inside our enclosures. Great having the permission to experiment in this eutrophic pond a few steps from our lab. Some enclosures have been treated with novel P binders. We'll see how they develop over spring and summer.

Each morning at 08:20 hrs, a small group of 15 enthusiastic MSc students join the course on "Applications in Soil and Water Chemistry" @w-u-r.bsky.social. Today, we addressed chemistry in lake restoration, tomorrow the sessions on chemical equilibria start.

In Uruguay, the capibaras are green from cyanobacteria. Massive blooms occur in the Uruguay River, Salto Grande and the Río de la Plata coast and beaches in the San José department.

Had a great meeting in Olsztyn at the department of geoengineering to learn about the history of this famous lake restoration group, the 1st Olszewski tube (replaced in 1976😉) that's already running for 69 years❗️, and current projects. System analysis guided interventions💪Great science👍

Happy to join today's course Water Management, organised by research institute B-Ware with sessions on cyanobacteria and measures to reduce cyanobacteria blooms and eutrophication.

Volop gezelligheid. De Rooise Top2000 Quizz was weer een feestje en ditmaal zijn we met het voormalige ouwe knarrenteam 'Grijsgedraaid' zelfs in de top 10 op een verdienstelijke 7e plek beland, mede dankzij een geniale wissel van de coach om een jeugdspeler op te stellen👍🥳.

Today, I had a meeting on lake restoration at Water Authority Delfland. This water authority was founded 735 years ago in 1289 and is located in the centre of Delft (NL), in a beautiful old building with new bright architecture behind it. Undoubtedly an inspiring place to work.

Impressive protest against the current Dutch government's plans to cap the influx of international talent, make massive budget cuts, and give students who delay obtaining a degree a €3000 fine. DON'T DO IT! Doe het niet!!🟥
