MAT252 Sercon-2020 δ 30 Si δ 18 O (diatoms, radiolarians, sponge ferrules) Reconstruction of polar sea surface salinity changes and meltwater events (δ 18 O) Efficiency of the biological pump (δ 30 Si) [...] measurement of stable carbon isotopes of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in waters from the polar seas is routinely carried out in our laboratories. This parameter is being determined via a GasBench Plus [...] supply of nutrient silicon and its use in polar and subpolar ocean regions (e.g. Southern Ocean, North Pacific) can be reconstructed on geological time scales. For the measurements, pure diatom-, radiolarian-

The characterization of Shelf Sea food webs is our central aim. By using field and experimental approaches, we address the effects of

Shelf Sea System Ecology

the focus of the section lies in the pelagic and benthic communities of the North Sea, with comparisons to other shelf sea systems. Given the large temporal and spatial spectra we work on a range of [...] Short Profile Coastal seas are highly variable environments, with variation on all time scales from seconds to decades, and spatial scales from mm to km. Organisms living in such zones should be adapted [...] large variation, but potentially not to the changes that are currently taking place in our coastal seas. Thus, coastal organisms represent the ideal case to contrast the effects of natural and non-natural
