centimetres – and in the future, it will continue to do so, and more quickly. This is chiefly due to anthropogenic climate change. The warmer atmosphere is heating the ocean, causing seawater to expand. In addition [...] replaced thermal expansion as the main cause. What the future looks like will above all depend on anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions. According to the IPCC’s climate projections, if emissions can be cut

Ramona Mattmueller I am a marine biologist and [...] marine mammal diversity via their acoustic behavior. I am particularly interested in the impact of anthropogenic noise on polar ocean soundscapes and its impact on the soundscape and (acoustic) ecology of marine

Biological effects of marine organisms Pollutants of anthropogenic origin have also been polluting our oceans since the industrialization of the world. Coastal seas such as the North and Baltic Seas in
