The Centre for Scientific Diving is also the home of the working group "In situ ecology" which is part of the AWI [...] important for the protection of our coastlines. A good example for this development is the North Sea, were more than 80 % of the coastline is already artificially protected. In 2010, the Centre for Scientific [...] Scientific Diving of the AWI has installed an underwater experimental field North of Helgoland called MarGate to study the impacts of artificial structures on the demersal fish and macroinvertebrate communities

The considerable diversity to be found in permafrost makes it particularly difficult to keep track of the various [...] found at the Zugspitze. Given its smaller overall land mass, there is less permafrost in the Southern Hemisphere. Although the Antarctic offers the constant low temperatures needed, the amount of land where [...] where the majority of biological and biochemical activity takes place, it is also referred to as the “active layer”, which, as the thawing layer, is not considered to be part of the permafrost. The layer
