Climate change arises from natural and anthropogenic external forcing, as well as from variations within the climate system. Whereas synoptic to interannual variations in the climate system are well observed [...] time-scales. Estimating that variability is the basis for the detection and attribution of the anthropogenic component and determines the range of plausible future climate changes. Imprints created during

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

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

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
