Research and Technology Centre (FTZ)
Focus of the applied research of the FTZ lies in the study of effects of the Offshore Windparks to the marine environment, especially regarding marine mammals and sea birds, the eutrophication problem, projects about hydro- and sediment-dynamics of the coastal waters, changes of the coastal morphology and their prediction with numeric models, the development of new measuring methods for the marine environmental surveillance and in the micro-algae biotechnology. Synthesis of results brings conceptional contributions for an integrated coastal management.
