Unlike the shallow water conjunction to the Pacific, this connection is up to 5569 metres deep and thus the main region for exchange

  • Marine heatwaves pose problems for coastal plankton

    Temperatures around the world continue to rise – and the North Sea is no exception. Yet, in addition to this gradual warming, increasingly frequent and intense heat events also have consequences for marine [...] with their repercussions for plankton. They have also conducted an experiment that exposed the North Sea plankton community to different future warmer scenarios, both with and without heatwaves. The r
