Under his direction the management policy of contaminated sediments of the entire Waterways and Shipping Administration in Germany (WSV) is being defined. Dr Heininger is the Secretary of the International Commission on Water Quality of the IAHS and a steering-group member of the European Network SedNet. He has been working for a long time as an expert for the International Commission for the Protection of the River Elbe and chairs the working group 'Sources and Transport of Contaminants' of the German River Basin Community Elbe (FGG). Since 1990, Dr Heininger has been in charge of numerous international and German research projects about water-quality assessment, water analysis, sediment quality, transport of particle-bound contaminants and ecotoxicology in transboundary rivers and coastal waters. Peter Heininger is author of more than 60 scientific publications, 32 thereof in peer-reviewed journals, and he contributed to five books. | | Areas of interest: | | sediment ecotoxicology | | dredged material | | water quality | | aquatic pollution | | aquatic toxicology | | bioaccumulation/biomagnification | | contaminant transport, non-point source pollution | | EU Strategy: soils and sediments | | risk assessment | | sediments, marine and freshwater | | |
