In a laboratory experiment, research team investigates the potential effects of particle emissions Deep-sea Research: “International Prize for Biology” goes to Senckenberg’s Angelika Brandt Senckenberg marine researcher Dr. Angelika Brandt will be awarded the 40th “International Prize for Biology” today in the presence of the Imperial Highnesses of Japan. 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.
