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

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

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

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

Marine Chemistry The Marine Chemistry team investigates the importance of natural and anthropogenic organic substances and nutrients in water and marine organisms and their significance for global material

Small molecules may act as signaling [...] fluorescent cellular compounds. The aim of this research is to define cellular targets of natural and anthropogenic small molecules. Chemical analysis of secondary metabolites Secondary metabolites are those chemical
