climbing temperatures. In addition, the rivers are carrying large amounts of sediment from thawing permafrost. How the Arctic Ocean will react to such changes is a very big question, which is concerning scientists

Coastal erosion in the Arctic
The thawing and erosion of Arctic permafrost coasts has dramatically increased in the past years and the sea is now consuming more than 20 meters of land per year at some

temporal resolution in the Elbe estuary. Another hot spot of unknown magnitude is the rapid thawing of permafrost soils and sediments in the arctic region. In In the framework of MOSES and in cooperation with [...] institutes (AWI-Periglacial Research, GFZ, Geomar) we plan to assess the influence of rapidly thawing permafrost on the distribution of methane in the aquatic environment. Especially the winter situation, the
