Current research at Karlstad University is focused on aquatic ecosystems and terrestrial habitats. With the knowledge that the two environments impact and strongly depend on each other, it is important to study the connection between them.
Insects hatch in water, fly over both watercourses and land. They can either provide a food source for terrestrial animals or fall into the water they once came from and become food for fish.

They guide us to the right address, tell us to exercise more, and provide us with information about other things that we need help with in our everyday lives. In order to be able to do so, they register where we are, what we say, and what we do. But can we really trust the apps with our personal information?
