The Baltic Sea coast in the Anthropocene: a model for the consequences of climate change Under the lead of the Leibniz Institute for IOW, a review article outlined the state of the Baltic Sea coast and its expected development as a result of climate change. Cooler warm periods: How the Southern Ocean controlled climate and atmospheric CO2 New study: More carbon storage through stronger ocean stratification Exchanging marine expertise At the DAM Stakeholder Forum, participants from politics, business, and civil society discussed current developments in German marine research and policy Small change, big impact Researchers identify major ecological turnover occurred already before the largest warming event of the past 90 million years Carbon cycle can plunge Earth into an ice age How the Earth could overcorrect global warming Climate change promotes the spreading of vibrios: IOW study reveals global distribution patterns Vibrio vulnificus, a bacterium that is potentially very dangerous to humans, is a natural component of marine plankton. Magma Displacement triggered tens of thousands of Earthquakes Analysis of earthquake swarm around Santorini reveals origin and development of the seismic crisis Sediment cores from the Southeast Pacific as an 8-million-year-old climate archive: Temperature influences global ocean currents Under the lead of the IOW, a sediment core from the Southeast Pacific was examined that reflects the last 8 million years of Earth's history What Climate Change Means for the Mediterranean Sea GEOMAR Study Highlights Urgent Need for Action From Greenhouse Gas to Carbonate beneath the Seafloor Expedition MSM140 investigates CO₂ storage potential in marine basalt formations off Norway How permafrost thaw diminishes the remaining carbon budget Keeping global warming below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels requires future carbon emissions to remain below a certain level The ocean carbon sink is ailing Measurements show: Oceans absorbed significantly less CO2 than expected during the unprecedented marine heatwave of 2023 Lake on the 79°N Glacier is splitting the ice – leaving permanent changes A new AWI study shows that an approximately 21 square kilometre meltwater lake has caused gigantic cracks in the ice and that the water flowing off is lifting the glacier A Journey to the Origins of the Seafloor Expedition SO314 investigates how sea-level change affects crust formation beneath the ocean Previous 1 2 3 4 5 … 17 Next Share this page Newsletter Always up to date with the DAM newsletter.
