- Pulse-amplitude-modulation fluorometry (e.g. PHYTO-PAM)
- Environmental DNA (eDNA) and genetic sampling
- Fish sampling (electrofishing, bottom trawl, longline)
- Various catchment, floodplain, and stream models for connectivity, trophic states, matter retention, and habitat availability
- Assessments of ecosystem functions, services, and multi-functionality of rivers and floodplains
