WCL LMI 1A, AquaScale mesocosms (Ptacnik lab)
Users are invited to participate during a mesocosm experiment scheduled for June – July 2018.
WCL LMI 1B, LipTox mesocosms (Kainz lab)
This facility is available for TA from Jan 1st-Dec 31st, for up to two months and up to 210 person-days – e.g. 10 people for 10 days.
No specific experiment is planned yet. Manipulation of temperature and/or DOC, nutrients etc. are possible. Please contact Martin Kainz for possible collaborations.
WCL LMI 2B EcoCatch flumes (Schelker lab)
Users who are selected for TA are invited to join the Flume experiment on stream microbial inoculation within the ÖAW project Hydro-Diversity planned to run from the beginning of June to mid of August 2018.
In addition, open slots for TA users are September to end of October. Minimum required stay for users is one month, so this could be two time slots, but is most likely just one slot that is realistic (210 person-days).
