The special exhibition "Experiencing Mudflats - Understanding Mudflat Soils" is a joint project of the Authority for Environment and Energy (BUE), which designed the exhibition including excursions together with the LIB and the Institute for Soil Science of the University of Hamburg.
The Authority for Environment and Energy (BUE) is one of the specialized authorities of the Senate of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg and is responsible for urban environmental and energy policy. Four specialist offices deal with the topics "Water, Wastewater and Geology", "Nature Conservation, Green Planning and Soil Protection", Immission Control and Waste Management" and "Energy and Climate". Jens Kerstan has been Senator for the Environment and Energy since April 15, 2015, and is thus head of the agency.
The Institute of Soil Science is a teaching and research institution of the Department of Earth Sciences at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences (MIN) of the University of Hamburg. The central concern of the institute is to research soil properties and functions as well as processes in soils and their interaction, for example, with climate change. Many of the institute's scientists are members of the Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability (CEN).
The Center for Natural History (CeNak, now LIB) is one of the major centers for biodiversity and evolution research in Germany. LIB's important scientific collections, with their more than ten million natural history objects, provide a comprehensive archive for analysis on the origin and evolution of life on earth. Organisms and their habitats are studied in 13 research departments: Starting at the regional level, on the doorstep at the Elbe, to the tropics, which are particularly rich in species.
