and heats the stratosphere. Thus changes in the atmospheric circulation and in the emission of anthropogenic substances that affect the abundance of ozone in the atmosphere have direct effects on the global

research focus is on observations of the upper troposphere and stratosphere. With little local anthropogenic influence, the PAO is ideal for comparisons with other tropical stations and to study the impact

and environmental states, as well as the recent reaction of the Earth system on natural and anthropogenic driven climate change. Scientists from Bremerhaven and Potsdam are investigating which processes

and maintained in these deep-sea organisms is still unclear, but important to understand, as anthropogenic activities can unknowingly disrupt critical environmental stimuli that set these rhythms. Microbial

natural Holocene polar climate variability is a key to determine the range of plausible future anthropogenic climate change. My Ph.D. project aims at improving our understanding of the climate signal and

nutrient uptake in phytoplankton for future net primary production, and time of emergence of anthropogenically induced trends in dissolved organic matter in Earth system model simulations. I am currently

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. Our results will be used to develop new pathways

cellular processes and to gain a better understanding of the adaptability of marine animals to (anthropogenic) environmental influences. One of our priority questions is how environmental parameters (temperature
