Due to its high salinity, the Southern Ocean’s water doesn’t freeze at zero degrees Celsius, [...] peaceful and above all scientific purposes. This regulation forms the basis for protecting the ice world at the southern end of the planet. And in 1991, the signatories ratified the Protocol on Environmental

At the same time, we push the boundaries of climate modeling – one of our key strengths – by developing, refining, and validating regional and global coupled climate models, harnessing the power of

Connecting three major [...] which contains 60 m of potential global sea level rise—a major threat to societies around the world.

We investigate the epigenetic mechanisms of transgenerational plasticity (TGP) in the context of ocean warming and [...] on the fitness of the offspring in a matching environment. Mechanistically the plastic adaptation is linked to higher efficiency of the
