Ocean Acoustics
Due to construction work in the sea, shipping, and gas and oil extraction, the oceans are becoming increasingly louder. A comprehensive international study has now shown that this n

are currently changing more rapidly than at almost any time in Earth’s history. This is due to anthropogenic factors, which on the one hand have individual effects, but which are also mutually reinforcing

we can alter parameters like light, temperature and nutrients – all of which are affected by anthropogenic climate change in the real world – in a controlled way, which allows us to investigate their impact

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

a research team led by Alfred Wegener Institute scientists investigated what long-term impact anthropogenic climate change will have on ocean eddies and their far-reaching effects. Using climate model
