To answer this question we needed the bathymetry at the shelf edge of 79th glaciers As ships cannot access this area, we planned a 36 km seismic cross line on the sea ice. This [...] allowed us to collect CTD profiles (Conductivity, Temperature, Density) of the seawater. To get reliable sea ice conditions we left early, in April 2016. Conditions were cold, -25°C to -40°C causing hardware

A variety of experts discussed possible planning and policy options for an improved use of the NorthSea. In particular, the World Ocean Assessment [...] n and politics discussed a range of options for an ecological enhancement of the German NorthSea and Baltic Sea, and a reduction of polluting discharges. The focus was on marine spatial planning as an
