Thermosalinography, xBTs) and handle the associated data. Causes of natural climate variability and anthropogenic climate change will be discussed in the context of international climate negotiations, as well

cellular processes and to gain a better understanding of the adaptability of marine animals to (anthropogenic) environmental influences. One of our priority questions is how environmental parameters (temperature

will be developed on a latitudinal gradient representative of different coastal ecosystems and anthropogenic and climate change pressures across Europe allowing for generalization of our results. These

bottom waters of the Weddell Sea, reveal a steady CO 2 increase of anthropogenic origin, as surface water charged with anthropogenic CO 2 is a major component in the formation of WSBW (Van Heuven et al [...] al. 2011). The findings reflect the deep-sea sequestration of anthropogenic CO 2 , thus contributing to diminishing the burden of excess CO 2 in the atmosphere. The largest increase of CO 2 is found in [...] in the surface layer (Van Heuven et al. 2014). Here, uptake of excess CO 2 , i.e. anthropogenic CO 2 , from the atmosphere has obviously occurred. Somewhat surprisingly, steady state tracer oxygen shows

Research (DAM) through its sustainMare research mission, is developing concepts for reducing anthropogenic stresses on marine ecosystems and biodiversity. The project brings together 32 experts from 15

this sudden rise has proven a challenge for researchers. After all, factoring in the effects of anthropogenic influences like the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, of the weather phenomenon
