Making the ocean an ally in climate protection Field experiment on Gran Canaria investigates a possible solution for the long-term removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere with the help of the ocean Seagrass meadows act as vibrio catchers Kiel researchers prove another service of the Baltic Sea ecosystem Fact Sheet on Climate Change in the Baltic Sea New publication shows latest scientific knowledge on climate change in the Baltic Sea Research Mission Investigates the Ocean as a Carbon Store How can the ocean help to effectively contain climate change? This question forms the core of the first research mission of the German Marine Research Alliance (DAM), which has just started. The University of Bremen plays a significant role in two projects. Counteracting climate change Research consortium sea4soCiety investigates ways to naturally increase carbon storage in coastal ecosystems Cod Population in the Western Baltic Beyond Tipping Point A new study led by Christian Möllmann from Universität Hamburg’s CEN has shown that the “tipping point” for this population has already been exceeded.
