BRIESE Award for Marine Research The 2021 call is open until October 31 Microplastics: A Trojan Horse for Metals Hereon study shows that microplastics can serve as a transport vehicle for metals in the environment Groundwater resources off the coast of Malta Researchers discover fresh water in the Mediterranean Sea New comment in Nature: Advancing an equitable and effective conservation of biodiversity OECMs - the acronym for "Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures" - are a valuable policy tool in the new global biodiversity agreement, along with the establishment of protected areas. A long day for microbes, and the rise of oxygen on Earth An international team of scientists around Judith Klatt from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany, proposes an intriguing explanation: that increasing daylength, resulting from slowing Earth rotation, may have allowed microbes to release more oxygen, thereby creating the air we breathe today. Mitigating climate change more effectively with oceans First research mission of the German Marine Research Alliance studies oceans as carbon sinks World Coral Reef Conference Reef Protection of Global Significance Fully booked at the bottom of the sea There seems no room for new bacteria on sand grains Enzyme skyscrapers help microbes grow Scientists determine structure of an important nitrite-oxidizing enzyme in the global biological nitrogen cycle Researching climate change in Greenland Hereon scientists study marine ecosystem tipping points on international research expedition Symbionts without borders: Bacterial partners travel the world Symbiotic bacteria living in the gills of certain clams are true cosmopolitans. Heavy rain and heat – new details on climate change Possible climate changes on county level – a new climate service from GERICS What makes mangroves efficient carbon stores? The ability of mangroves to store large amounts of CO2 and other climate gases as organic matter in their biomass and sediments has sparked increasing interest in this ecosystem.
