Research finally have an explanation for why: Due to unusual atmospheric pressure conditions over the North Atlantic, low-pressure areas are diverted from their usual track, which disrupts the coupling between [...] an important step toward refining climate models and more accurately predicting the fate of Arctic sea ice in the face of progressing climate change.

Wadden Sea Long-term Ecological Research (LTER) It is getting warmer, sea levels are rising and the Wadden Sea ecosystems are changing rapidly (Figure 1). At the Wadden Sea station of Sylt we have one [...] other parts of the North Sea. We also envisage extending this observational power by remote sensing or other optical methods that will allow a higher spatial coverage of the North Sea. We strive to sample [...] other parts of the North Sea. We also envisage extending this observational power by remote sensing or other optical methods that will allow a higher spatial coverage of the North Sea. We aim to integrate

surveying of geomorphology, sediment distribution and habitat properties in the Wadden Sea and in the coastal North Sea. To make area-based statements about the sediment properties of the seabed, we employ [...] Water Meets Land – Coastal Hydrography and Geology The Wadden Sea forms a transitional habitat between land and sea. High tidal amplitudes, shallow water depths, strong winds, and rivers discharge create [...] beneath the seabed and give us the opportunity to study the historical development of the very young North Sea on geological time scales. These methods help to visualize and analyze glacial surfaces and ancient

The Wadden Sea forms a transitional habitat between land and sea. The shallow depth and constant exchange with the adjacent North Sea create a very special geological space. The Wadden Sea Over the Course [...] nutrient inputs into the Wadden Sea. Since nutrients are usually discharged into the Wadden Sea by rivers, the recovery of seagrass meadows is limited to the northern Wadden Sea as it is far away from the major [...] Roads’ time series, the Wadden Sea Station in List makes an important contribution to the long-term observation and investigation of changes in the Wadden Sea.
