This field course focusses on advanced concepts in running water ecology. It provides introductury lectures on stream ecology, longitudinal zonation, organismic drift, geochemistry and biofilm ecology which prepare a series of field trips at a third-order forest stream in the Wienerwald area. At this site practical skills such as stream reconnaissance, hydological methodology (propellermeter handling, velocity-area method, Statzner hemispheres, gauges, hydraulic stress parameters), sedimentology, map work, evaluation of descriptive catchment characteristics, bed morphology and stream-catchment-interactions, among others, are trained. Team work is strongly encouraged. In the lab, data are processed and important working techniques (e.g. various methods of grain analysis) are demonstrated.
Evaluation: written summary.
