mammal ecology? How can we best minimize potential impacts of anthropogenic noise on marine mammals? Our focus: We explore the distribution and behavior of whales and seals and their underwater acoustic

Bickmeyer) To elicit any effect on living systems, natural and anthropogenic compounds target the smallest unit of the biota, the single cell. Small molecules may act as signaling molecules acting on [...] of this research is to define cellular targets of natural and anthropogenic small molecules. Chemical analysis of secondary metabolites Secondary metabolites are those chemical compounds of an organism

A focus of the group is on deep and bottom water formation, e.g. precursors

BEnToolsMaPs will generate and transfer knowledge on effects of anthropogenic stressors on the structure and function of Southern Ocean seafloor systems, facilitating decision-making on sustainable management

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 biodiversity. By investigating

In addition, we aim to explore how lead of anthropogenic origin enters Antarctic waters, where it mixes with naturally introduced dissolved lead. Anthropogenic lead in seawater can be easily distinguished from naturally introduced lead by significantly increased concentrations and a

Ultimately, we aim to understand and predict the effects on anthropogenic pressure on our shelf sea communities. Section Head Cédric Meunier (Photo: Alfred-Wegener-Institut) PD Dr. Cédric Meunier
