that influence seafloor morphology and sediment dynamics and anthropogenic influences, such as the use of bottom-contact fishing gear. Acoustic methods further allow us to look beneath the seabed and

direct temperature measurements. Information regarding the pre-anthropogenic state of the system can be obtained either by reconstructing the climatic and environmental conditions of the distant past –

Wegener Institute, has investigated how climate change and anthropogenic activities and pressure impact the carbon cycle in the North Sea. The final event took place in Berlin, which included an expert

Contact Dr. Christoph Völker Dr. Ying Ye Uptake and cycling of anthropogenic carbon in the ocean We simulate the changing ocean carbon uptake in response to humans’ perturbation of atmospheric CO 2 levels [...] System Model, and simulate the historical and future ocean anthropogenic carbon uptake under low and high emission scenarios. A focus of the group is on deep and bottom water formation, e.g. precursors

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

Global Carbon Budget - Ocean Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere – the “global [...] . The oceans are therefore the most important net sink for anthropogenic CO 2 emissions. The ocean in the Global Carbon Budget Less than half of all CO 2 emissions remain in the atmosphere, the other [...] . The oceans are therefore the most important net sink for anthropogenic CO 2 emissions. Each year, we collect estimates of the ocean carbon sink from global ocean biogeochemistry models (GOBMs) and
