- Dynamics of Biodiversity Loss and Permafrost Melt in Hovsgol National Park, Mongolia. This project examines effects of land use practices on Lake Hovsgol with the goal of providing sustainable land use practices for use by local herders. This project is funded by the GEF and is led by Clyde Goulden of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.
- Conservation and Ecology of the Yeroo Watershed. This project examines the ecology of a watershed in North Central Mongolia and is led by Dr. Michael Muehlenberg, Centre for Nature Conservation, University of Goettingen. Certain reaches of the Yeroo River Watershed are subjected to intense loads of sediment resulting from mining activities, whereas other reaches are relatively unperturbed by human activity. This combination of range of impacts provides Dr. Muehlenberg and his colleagues a chance to establish patterns of disturbance in both the aquatic and terrestrial habitat of the watershed and to establish conservation plans.
- Diversity of diatoms, ostracodes, and chironomids of saline lakes in Western Mongolia. This project shall document diversity and ecology of select taxa the extreme saline environments found in closed basin lakes in Western Mongolia. It is led by Mark Edlund, Associate Scientist with the Science Museum of Minnesota.
- Biodiversity Studies in Mongolia are profiled by the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.
