The Laboratory of Aquatic
Ecology at the Radboud University of
Nijmegen was founded by Cornelis den Hartog (C.denHartog@inter.nl.net) in 1973, and |
|
Prof. dr. den Hartog 22 Oct09 surrounded by Laura Govers, Marjolijn Christianen, dr. Marieke van Katwijk, Prof. dr. Anitra Thorhaug who visited us, Yayu La Nafie and dr. Qiuying Han. |
Presently, seagrass research is performed at
three departments: The Department of Environmental Science (van Katwijk, Herman, Bos, Stapel, Vonk, van der Heide, Christianen, Nienhuis), the Department of Aquatic Ecology
and Environmental Biology (Roelofs, Smolders, Lamers) and the Department of Animal
Ecology and Ecophysiology (van der Velde, Nagelkerken,
van Avesaath, Dorenbosch,
Lugendo, Verweij, Wendelaar Bonga). Recently, we
joined forces in the Centre of Coastal and
Estuarine Science (CCES). |
