Description
The National Multidisciplinary Laboratory for Climate Change conducts research and development in the field of technological, economic and social adaptation, in addition to studying the drivers of climate change and their impacts on natural and economic systems and society.
Main research areas:

  • Climate change drivers and their impacts
  • Climate impacts of soot particles
  • Planktonic organisms and climate change
  • Impact of climate change on chemical communication in living waters
  • Biodiversity conservation research
  • Experimental investigation of changes in ecological systems
  • Clay sediments and bio-minerals
  • Biobatteries

Benefits to be expected from laboratory research:

  • To identify hitherto unregulated sources of soot particles, in particular to estimate the extent of illegal municipal waste incineration, to determine the chemical and absorption properties of the particles, to quantify their energetic contribution to climate change, and to contribute to industrial combustion technology developments to minimise soot emissions.
  • The combined effects of climate change-induced temperature extremes and anthropogenic stressors in freshwater ecosystems, focusing, among other things, on chemical communication in trophic networks of ecosystems.
  • Monitoring the complex impacts of climate change.
  • Clarifying the potential role of biofossils (shellfish shells, fish ear bones) as environmental and climate indicators.
  • Bioelectrochemical systems developed today (microbial fuel cells (MFC), microbial electrolysis cells (MEC) and microbial electrosynthesis cell (MESCs) are capable of both storing and harvesting electricity. Their integrated application helps to develop a system analogous to batteries, which can even be used for carbon sequestration.
  • Provision of analyses and development of decision-support solutions using data and systems science to identify the challenges and management options of climate change to assess the climate sensitivity of communities, improve the resilience of the environment and society, and improve the adaptive, transformative and learning capacities of individuals, communities, supply networks and communities.
  • Development of the Water 4.0 research infrastructure system to address the expected water supply problems in the context of climate change, enabling the automation, remote access and operation of various water treatment tasks in both new and existing water systems.

A hazai kutatók nemzetközi beágyazottságát, kutatás-fejlesztési együttműködéseit nagymértékben elősegíti aktív kapcsolatuk a világ legjelentősebb kutatási infrastruktúráival (KI) és bekapcsolódásuk az ott folyó élvonalbeli kutatásokba. A legkorszerűbb KI-k olyan nagy költségű berendezések, létesítmények vagy adatbankok, amelyek építése, fejlesztése és működtetése meghaladja egy-egy ország gazdasági teljesítőképességét, így nemzetközi együttműködésben valósulnak meg.
