Nutrient dynamics in coastal and shelf oceans - sediments as a regulator of eutrophication feedbacks
(2022-01-10)
Coastal and shelf systems are under increasing pressure from human activities. Many coastal systems currently suffer from excessive algae growth following increased nutrient input from land, a process called eutrophication. ...
Turbulence in the sea ice impacted Southern Ocean and its implications for primary production and carbon export
(2022-05-12)
The sea ice impacted Southern Ocean, south of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current,
is one of the most important regions on earth for the cycling of carbon and distribution
of heat and freshwater around the globe. Here, ...
Microbial degradation of wooden foundation piles in urban context – causes and concerns
(2022-05-18)
Modern infrastructural projects can endanger historical piled foundations supporting cultural heritage buildings, as groundwork can affect the subsurface environment by lowering the local groundwater level and increasing ...
Ocean mixing and polynyas at Maud Rise, Weddell Sea
(2022-04-22)
The Weddell Sea Polynya is an intermittent, ice free area in the marginal ice zone with an extent of up to 350 000 km². It was first observed by satellites in the winter seasons of 1974-1976. In 2016 and 2017, an open-ocean ...
Modelling the Evolution of Species’ Ranges
(2022-09-16)
The fact that species have limited ranges is often due to a limited ability to adapt to the environmental conditions that occur outside their geographic ranges. However, due to ongoing climate change, the environmental ...
Evolutionary and Ecological Effects of Metal Pollution on Coastal Diatoms
(2022-10-21)
Oceans are changing rapidly in response to human activities, such as toxic pollution, eutrophication, and climate change. Diatoms are major primary producers in the oceans with short generation times, flexible reproductive ...
Crossing barriers: Genetic consequences of translocating wild cleaner fish for aquaculture
(2022-04-21)
Several species of fish show a symbiotic cleaning behaviour, where they assist other species by feeding and removing dead skin or ectoparasites. Some of these cleaner fish species are used as a low-cost parasite control ...
