–for the last few years- area intensive usage by offshore wind farms result in an increase in anthropogenic stress on the environment. A state-of-the-art ecosystem management and modern environmental protection [...] scales, spatial as well as temporal, is an indispensable prerequisite for the distinction between anthropogenic and natural impacts. Key Activities We are investigating the distribution of the benthos on different [...] different spatial (local-regional) and temporal (seasonal-long-term) scales effects of natural and anthropogenic change on the benthic system, i.e., ecosystem shifts caused by environmental shifts the ecological

atmosphere. Without this sink, the concentration of CO 2 in our atmosphere and the extent of anthropogenic climate change would be considerably higher.

year’s Global Carbon Budget was released. For the purpose of the budget, researchers estimate the anthropogenic carbon budget for the planet as a whole; this includes the sources (emissions), the carbon sinks

adaptability in relation to environmental factors, which are affected or unaffected by increasing anthropogenic CO2 emission, as well as their role in biogeochemical cycles. The generated data will be used

specified activity " (ISO18405, 3.1.1.2). Ambient sound is composed of natural abiotic and biotic and anthropogenic sounds. Natural abiotic ('geophonic') sounds include sound produced by wind, waves and ice movement [...] space and how does it relate to other environmental and ecological factors? How do natural and anthropogenic sounds contribute to the overall acoustic environment of an area? Which role does the character

With our focus on microbes these two aspects, climate change and anthropogenic pressure are under investigation in this topic. Vibrio are consistent members of the marine microbial

Another focus is dealing with anthropogenic influences in the marine environment and consequences on the organisms. Two main aspects are studied: measure of anthropogenic markers (e.g. xenobiotica, toxin

of regional temperature fluctuations over the last 8000 years. The consequence: In addition to anthropogenic warming additional changes in regional climates are expected due to natural variability.
