Biometeorology: at the interface between biology and meteorology, we investigate the exchange processes between ecosystems and the atmosphere
A form of symbiosis with mutual benefits: The ant Lasius niger tickles an aphid with its antennae to obtain a drop of honeydew.
The effects of climatic changes can be clearly seen in the vicinity of the glaciers. The hydrobiology and the establishment of pioneer species in the extreme habitat of the new glacial stream section are being investigated in the ‘Glacier death and water birth’ project.
Land Tirol fördert wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs

Research
Seven research groups are working on issues relating to ecology, biodiversity and evolution and are analysing the effects of human influence on ecosystems.
Studies
Our teaching focusses on deepening students' knowledge of ecological relationships and training them in both basic and applied science.
The department of Ecology
The geographically favoured location in the Alps provides the ideal basis for the research focus on the Alpine region and its fascinating diversity of ecosystems.
