Resilience and vulnerability of the central Arctic Ocean food web to cumulative stress by warming and anthropogenic pollution. Head of Group Dr. Doreen Kohlbach Further members of the Junior Research Group Master [...] retreat, increasing influx of Atlantic waters, riverine input and marine traffic will bring more anthropogenic pollutants, even to remote Arctic regions, where they are entrained in water and sea ice, and [...] absent. In this context, Double-Trouble aims at i) assessing trophic structures and the degree of anthropogenic pollution under current environmental conditions and ii) simulating cumulative effects of warming

functioning. The region, still considered as "pristine", is under increasing climate change and anthropogenic pressure. FjordFlux will obtain spatial information on the current environmental state by combining

ecology of foundation species, their habitats and biogeochemistry, in response to natural and anthropogenic disturbance and climate change. Study areas include Arctic coasts, the North Sea, Patagonian fjords

approaches, and modeling techniques, Double-Trouble investigates the influence of global warming and anthropogenic pollution on the structure and functioning of the Central Arctic food web under current and future
