Red algae mats, little studied to date, play a special role as a refuge for many animals. How katabatic storms in southeast Greenland form dense water in the Irminger Sea In a new study, researchers investigate for the first time in a global storm- and eddy-resolving (5 km) model the interaction of atmosphere and ocean during a katabatic storm in the Irminger Sea off the coast of southeast Greenland. Microplastics in the Indian Ocean Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon validate and apply a newly developed analysis method for plastic particles and fibers The Southern Ocean as never seen before A new map shows the seabed of the Southern Ocean in unprecedented detail Lessons from the past: how cold-water corals respond to global warming New MARUM study: Food and oxygen have the greatest impact on survival Polarstern II: German Bundestag greenlights the construction of new icebreaker The next step for the construction of AWI’s new research vessel: an EU-wide competition, in which shipyards can apply for participation in the procurement procedure Getting a better understanding of the influence of eddies in the ocean Last of three ship expeditions launched in upwelling area off West Africa Endangered but not harmed Even intensive whaling did not rob the fin whale of its genomic diversity Decline of diatoms due to ocean acidification Study shows unexpected negative impact by CO2 on important plankton group New study on the acclimation capacity of large coral reefs to climate warming The study uses a model and field data to calculate the extent to which large reefs like the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia will be able to acclimate to ocean warming in the long term.
