DanubeSediment_Q2 aims to improve the management of sediment quantity and quality in the Danube River Basin to achieve environmental goals. The main result is the first Integrated Sediment Management Plan (ISMP) for the Danube River Basin. We will recommend concrete solutions and improvement options that will be taken up by the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) in the next Danube River Basin Management Plan and Flood Risk Management Plan.

GeoZS involvement in the project will focus on the sediment quality component, for which we will utilise a scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM/EDS/EBSD/CL) quality development. GeoZS will develop numerical modelling combining the sediment quality and quantity components, model the transport and spatial distribution of sediments, and contribute to the implementation and evaluation of two semi-automated platforms for passive sampling monitoring. Furthermore, we will contribute to the development of the transboundary Integrated Sediment Management Plan ISMP for the Danube River Basin, which mainly addresses sediment quality issues.
