Seagrass meadows as natural climate protectors New major project investigates potential of seagrass meadows as carbon sinks Glacial Melt Endangers Ecosystems Hereon Investigates Water in Arctic Fjords – Global Warming Has Drastic Impacts Here Too Long-term measurements for climate research Last weekend, the first GEOMAR expedition of the year set sail. The aim of the mission is to study oceanographic and meteorological processes in the tropical Atlantic, Warming exacerbates oxygen depletion in the western Baltic Sea Rising water temperatures undermine nutrient reduction efforts Actual Social Cost of CO2 Emissions More Than Twice as High Greenhouse-gas emissions cost societies far more than previously assumed Phase II for DAM research mission sustainMare The mission on the “Protection and sustainable use of marine areas” is the second DAM research mission to be extended. How sulphur affects the carbon cycle of subtropical seagrass meadows Seagrass meadows have an important climate protection function due to their long-term carbon storage potential. An international research team has now been able to show that seagrass How do marine food webs respond to increasing alkalinity? The ocean naturally absorbs a quarter to a third of man-made CO2 emissions, but this process also leads to the acidification of seawater. Rapid surge in global warming mainly due to reduced planetary albedo Rising sea levels, melting glaciers, heatwaves at sea – 2023 set a number of alarming new records. Not too warm and not too cold – Finding the Goldilocks Zone of the Great Barrier Reef The environmental conditions that allowed the Great Barrier Reef to grow to its current size have been a scientific puzzle. Turning point in global fossil CO2 emissions has not yet been reached As the Global Carbon Project shows, fossil CO2 emissions have continued to rise in 2024.
