Welcoming Adam Brezina (@recetox.bsky.social) to @ufz.de for #JDS5 data evaluation – assessing chemical #pollution from #WWTP discharging into the River #Danube. 15 institutions incl. @goetheuni.bsky.social, @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu, @cnrs.fr, @univie.ac.at – one goal: cleaner water.

🧬 Tracking migratory fish with eDNA!
As part of #DanubeLifelines, we support #JDS5 – 3,000+ km of the Danube sampled in 3 weeks to detect biodiversity signals, incl. sturgeon.
Science in action for river restoration.

Monitoring at the Hungarian DanubeLifelines site during JDS5 provides key data on fish assemblages and habitat suitability for migratory species. Low water levels now threaten vulnerable taxa like zingels and cactus roach.

🌊 eDNA meets the Danube!
IHG is leading the environmental DNA (eDNA) efforts for JDS5 — Europe’s largest river monitoring campaign.

Sampling the entire Danube — from source to mouth, ~3,000 km and 300 samples in just 3 weeks.

eDNA meets the Danube! 🌊 IHG leads eDNA activities for #JDS5, Europe’s largest river monitoring campaign. Sampling ~3,000 km of the Danube in 3 weeks with 300 samples—a big step for biodiversity protection in one of Europe’s key river systems

Joint Danube Survey 5 ready to begin Read more about the world's most comprehensive scientific study of the Danube River!

🌊 The fifth edition of the world's largest river expedition, the #JointDanubeSurvey, will get underway on 14 July 2025 ⤵️

Alexander Kirschner from #MedUniVienna is leading the team that will investigate the microbiological #waterquality from Germany to the #Danube Delta in Romania. ⬇️

The International Commission for Protection of the #Danube River (ICPDR) organises every 6 years sampling surveys on water quality & #biodiversity, on the whole river basin, to inform management actions.
JRC #EASIN has been invited to collaborate to the #JDS5 survey in 2025‼️👉🏻 europa.eu/!mtmQVc
