Schlosspark Jever - Gardens in a changing climate:

• Hydrological analysis of the Schlosspark Jever and expected changes due to climate change (modelling of climate-induced changes and analysis of hydrological conditions in the Schlosspark)
• Options for adapting the vegetation (tree species, shrubs) to the expected climate-related changes
• Optimisation of the castle park habitat for insects
• Optimisation of the castle park habitat for birds
• Settlement of barn owls and tawny owls in the owl tower of Jever Castle Park
• Behavioural analysis of a rook colony in Jever Castle Park (including effects on other species, noise impact, educational considerations, options for relocation)
• Recording and monitoring of amphibians in the Schlosspark Jever. Optimisation of the ecological niche in view of the changes caused by climate change.
• Analysis of the insect fauna in Jever Castle Park and development of a climate change-adapted development concept

Further topics:

• Carbon Dioxide Reduction: Instruments for the reduction of CO2 from the atmosphere
• Modelling of ecosystem services as CDR measures for different ecosystem types
• Recording biotope types from remote sensing data using geoprocessing and artificial intelligence for various biotope types:
  • Biotope types forests
  • Grassland biotope types
