    all of us. Human activities are altering the composition of the atmosphere, and understanding how this connects to the changes we observe – and where it might lead – is one of the most pressing questions of our time. Earth's climate has shifted before, under conditions not unlike those emerging today. If we [...] temperature at a moment in the past. Another example is the isotopic composition of boron, which reflects the pH of ancient seawater – a measure of ocean acidity

    coastal ecosystems are increasingly losing their balance. What do the latest findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reveal about the state of the oceans? And how are these scientific assessments actually derived? Prof. Dr. Björn Rost, one of the lead authors of the IPCC chapter on oceans and coastal ecosystems, discusses the impacts of climate change on marine life in a [...] Nordsee Zeitung, 6.7.2016) On the occasion of the opening of the Scientific Year 2016/2017, the Nordseezeitung reports on ten marine researchers of the Alfred-Wegener-Institute

If a correlation between environment of the parents and of the offspring exists, it can be a selective advantage to transfer information about phenotypically plastic traits to the offspring. We investigate the epigenetic mechanisms of transgenerational plasticity (TGP) in the context of ocean warming and [...] on the fitness of the offspring in a matching environment. Mechanistically the plastic adaptation is linked to higher efficiency of the
