Work Packages and Case Studies

 

BLUEWEBS is structured into 6 highly connected Work-Packages (WPs):

• WP1 will determine past and recent states in Baltic Sea ecosystems applying advanced statistical techniques to evaluate the structure and function of food webs using existing monitoring data.
  WP leader: Marie Nordström, Åbo Akademi University.
   
• WP2 will project scenarios of food web change using adapted and modified model systems based on results of WP1.
  WP leader: Bärbel Müller-Karulis, Baltic Sea Centre, Stockholm University.
   
• WP3 will quantify ecosystem service provision by case study food webs using bio-economic methodology for scenarios from WP2.
  WP leader: Rüdiger Voss, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel.
   
• WP4 will assess GES and BG potential by synthesizing the results from WPs 1-3.
  WP leader: Thorsten Blenckner, Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University.
   
• WP5 will facilitate the transdisciplinary integration using a variety of social science techniques.
  WP leader: Christian Möllmann, Hamburg University.
   
• WP 6 will conduct the management of the project and assures the dissemination of its results.
  WP leader: Laura Uusitalo, Finnish Environment Institute.
