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 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. 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 Depth Drives Diversity Biodiversity on the ocean floor is largely determined by water depth – not by temperature Peatlands in Indonesia: Has rising sea level led to more forest fires? Researchers have now shown how peatland in the coastal areas in Sumatra and Borneo developed over thousands of years and how climate and sea level influenced their dynamics throughout.
