Thus, understanding the cumulative effects of anthropogenic uses and estimates of the consequences of further expansions of uses is crucial. In AnthroTop [...] length determined. Over the years, we will be able to make statements about climate-related or anthropogenic changes, such as the direct and indirect influence of fishing in the Wadden Sea on the use of

As physical oceanographers we are inv [...] that the Weddell Sea bottom water became warmer during the last decades, and that its content of anthropogenic CO2 increased continuously; by detailed investigations it could be shown that the densest part
