Resilience and vulnerability of the central Arctic Ocean food web to cumulative stress by warming and anthropogenic pollution. Head of Group Dr. Doreen Kohlbach Further members of the Junior Research Group Master [...] retreat, increasing influx of Atlantic waters, riverine input and marine traffic will bring more anthropogenic pollutants, even to remote Arctic regions, where they are entrained in water and sea ice, and [...] absent. In this context, Double-Trouble aims at i) assessing trophic structures and the degree of anthropogenic pollution under current environmental conditions and ii) simulating cumulative effects of warming

and methane for centuries. As such, it may not be possible to quickly solve the problem that anthropogenic climate change has created, especially when irreversible changes take place in the permafrost

warming by absorbing most of the excess heat in the climate system and a large fraction of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. However, over the past years the Southern Ocean has experienced drastic
