Over the next four years, the team will study this unique environment where harsh conditions prevail. Micro- and nanoplastic from the atmosphere is polluting the ocean In a new study, an international team of researchers investigates the atmosphere as a relevant source of plastic pollution in our planet’s waters On behalf of research Unmanned aerial vehicle records meteorological measurement data for offshore wind energy Sweet spots in the sea: Mountains of sugar under seagrass meadows Now researchers have discovered vast amounts of sugars underneath seagrass meadows. This sheds new light on how plants store carbon in the ocean. Protecting species for the good of global climate How climate can benefit from the conservation of biodiversity Hydrothermal catering Researchers use new method to study microbial communities in their environment / Hydrothermal fluids transform coastal sediments into hotspots of microbial production How close is the tipping point? New studies on the Atlantic current system assess the threshold between natural fluctuations and a climate change-driven evolution Remote reefs in the Indian Ocean recover quickly after coral bleaching Researchers from the University of Exeter and the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research examined coral reefs and their functions in the Indian Ocean. IOW researcher Maren Voß will be the first Björn Carlson Baltic Sea Prize laureate Maren Voß is being honoured for her groundbreaking research on the importance of nitrogen in marine cycles and particularly its role in the overfertilisation of the Baltic Sea. A swarm of 85,000 earthquakes at the Antarctic Orca submarine volcano Researchers from Germany, Italy, Poland and the United States have determined how the rapid transfer of magma from the Earth's mantle near the crust-mantle boundary to almost the surface led to the swarm quake. Microplastics – Conducting research and raising social awareness The Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon creates a new digital platform about microplastic pollution for both interested readers and scientists Protecting biodiversity: creating dark infrastructure An international research team with the participation of IGB advocates the worldwide development of a dark infrastructure. How does light pollution affect mussels around the world? This year’s GAME experiments focus on important filter feeders along our coasts The global “plastic flood” reaches the Arctic A new AWI-led study shows: there is now a concerning degree of plastic pollution in the Arctic Ocean Making Shipping in Ice Regions Safer Increasing navigation decisions in ice-covered waters require a detailed assessment of the ice situation. The FAST-CAST 2 project aims to make a decisive contribution to route planning. Previous 1 … 30 31 32 … 41 Next Share this page Newsletter Always up to date with the DAM newsletter.
