The iES Landau, Institute for Environmental Sciences, is a flagship of the Landau campus (approx. 8,300 students) of the RPTU (University of Kaiserslautern-Landau). One research focus of the iES Landau is on anthropogenic stressors in coupled ecosystems.

Transition areas between ecosystems are very important (e.g. high biodiversity, “hotspots” for biogeochemical processes, provision of ecosystem services), but at the same time are considered particularly vulnerable to environmental change. The aim of the iES Landau is to investigate these interactions in cooperation between the biological, chemical, physical, geoscientific and social science-oriented research groups.
