The Centre for Scientific Diving is also the home of the working group "In situ ecology" which is part of the AWI [...] important for the protection of our coastlines. A good example for this development is the North Sea, were more than 80 % of the coastline is already artificially protected. In 2010, the Centre for Scientific [...] Scientific Diving of the AWI has installed an underwater experimental field North of Helgoland called MarGate to study the impacts of artificial structures on the demersal fish and macroinvertebrate communities

We have proof of his meticulousness in that we possess his personal copy of the first edition of his book “The Formation of Continents [...] elements in the Earth’s crust. He called one of them sial and the other sima. Wegener assumed that the oceans were composed of a heavier material than the continents. He thus presumed that the lighter continents [...] continents float on the heavier subsurface, like ice floes on the water. That was the core of his idea! It was associated with the concept of so-called isostasy. This says land bridges or the like couldn’t come
