More weather extremes in Europe during the summer under climate change Due to global warming, the North Atlantic Oscillation, an atmospheric circulation pattern that strongly influences European weather, is becoming more extreme in the summer. Protecting the beauty of the world’s reef fish communities An international research team led by the University of North Carolina Wilmingtonwith the participation of the ZMT has taken a close look at reefs worldwide to find out where the fish communities are that appear most beautiful to the human eye New Microscopy tool for energy research Hereon technique allows scientists to explore the properties of photoelectrodes more precisely Little researched current impacting on winter sea ice in the Arctic A research team from the Alfred Wegener Institute has for the first time gained insights into a current in the Barents Sea which affects Arctic sea ice Weather forecasting and climate modeling move closer together The ICON model can be used for weather forecasting as well as climate predictions and long-term projections Krill fishing in the Antarctic: overlaps with consequences Acoustic data reveal when and where fishing vessels compete with whales and penguins for krill in the Southern Ocean – and what this entails for the ecosystem Matthes and Bathmann start their second term of office Both deputy members of the DAM Executive Board were confirmed in their function by the General Assembly and the Administrative Board What helps the climate is not automatically good for the ocean GEOMAR study analyses the impact of marine carbon dioxide removal methods on global ocean oxygen levels Solution-oriented Ocean Research: Global Perspectives Key Insights from an International Experts’ Roundtable at UN Ocean Conference (UNOC) 2025, Nice Marine diseases: an underestimated threat to society and ecosystems Researchers at Kiel University have developed an expanded framework for assessing societal risk factors Offshore hydrogen production affects the North Sea Hereon study examines the effects of hydrogen production using offshore wind energy for the first time and offers environmentally friendly options for action Previous 1 2 3 4 5 … 44 Next Share this page Newsletter Always up to date with the DAM newsletter.
