As I have been informed that my Habilitation has been accepted by the faculty council (Fachbereichsrat), I now produced an internet version of my thesis without the copyrighted articles, in order to fulfil my publication duty as per the Habilitationsordnung.

Johannes Ranke

I will be in Bremen for my Habilitationskolloquium on Monday, December 14th. I will give a lecture from 12:15 - 13:00 in Prof. Balzers course on "Meereschemie" (marine chemistry) with the topic "Meeresverschmutzung" (marine pollution) in the NW2, H�rsaal 2 (C0300). The scientific presentation on the topic "Lineare freie Enthalpie-Beziehungen mit mehreren Parametern (mLFER) und ihre Anwendung in der Umweltchemie" (Multiparameter LFER and their application in environmental chemistry) will take place at 2 pm c.t. in the same location. Following this talk there will be the "Kolloquium" where scientific questions and my merits and shortcomings will be discussed. All these events are open to the public. I would be delighted to see you there!

I just thought I'd share this little impression of the celebration of Prof. Jastorff's retirement on September 14. Thanks to Ioana for the picture.

Johannes Ranke

While the resonance for my talk on open standards for ecotoxicological risk asessment of chemicals was only modest, I was very pleasantly surprised that our poster won the poster price of the conference in Osnabr�ck. What the jury probably didn't know is that I already won the poster price at the meeting of the GDCh Fachgruppe Umweltchemie und �kotoxikologie in Bayreuth back in 2000 ...

Johannes Ranke

For a long time I have wanted to add a description of my research interests and a short CV to my homepage. So here it is now, along with a list of the research projects that I have been involved in.

On another note, I will be giving a talk on my vision of a transparent and efficient ecotoxicological risk analysis at the conference of the GDCh section of environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology. I will also present a poster on a QSAR study of IL toxicity to four different organisms.

You can also meet me in Prague at the Ionic Liquids conference on October 16-18 where I will give a pre-conference workshop on the environmental impact of ionic liquids.
