Partners and sponsors

Freshwater research undertaken at Llyn Brianne benefits from paired experiments at partner facilities and data collected from similar field sites.

Partners

We are part of a wider UK research network. Each partner hosts slightly different and therefore complementary freshwater research facilities. This enables experiments across a variety of freshwater environments. Partner facilities include:

  • Imperial College London's Silwood Park pond mesocosms
  • University of Birmingham's stream mesocosm facility
  • the Upland Waters Monitoring Network, established in 1988 to track changes in surface water quality and freshwater biodiversity across all upland regions of the UK
  • Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) lake observatories.

Other stream and river research sites used by Cardiff University:

  • DURESS Project field sites, a network of upland stream sites with historical data and more recent detailed foodweb and genetic data
  • Welsh Acid Water Survey
