Climate Change Over the next few decades, anthropogenic climate change and the resultant changes in the global water cycle will produce a significant rise in drought frequency in the Northern Hemisphere
affected by climate change but - as an important economic region - also subject to numerous direct anthropogenic influences like tourism, fishery operations, shipping traffic, pollution & eutrophication from [...] set-up of wind farms at sea. 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

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
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
