In addition, we aim to explore how lead of anthropogenic origin enters Antarctic waters, where it mixes with [...] at landscape scale fixation, storage, stabilization, and export of carbon, their natural and anthropogenic drivers and the timescales on which they operate.

The North Sea is one of the most heavily used seas in the world. Shipping, fishing and other anthropogenic activities have substantial effects on natural ecosystems, while also influencing the North Sea’s

management in the Weddell Sea. BEnToolsMaPs will generate and transfer knowledge on effects of anthropogenic stressors on the structure and function of Southern Ocean seafloor systems, facilitating deci

strong influence of humans on the natural conditions. To understand the climate system prior to anthropogenic influence, we have to follow another path and employ methods of paleoclimatology. Proxies provide
