Sea level and monsoon – How do they influence the development of coral islands? In a new study, researchers from the ZMT found that sea level may not be the only factor playing a role in the fate of threatened islands. Our future with the sea In the Ocean Future Lab, artistic visualisations of what life and the sea would look like in the future have been created. They all have one thing in common: the desire for intact marine environments. Minimizing the risk of rising sea levels Researchers of Kiel University model future urban development on European coasts What you count is not necessarily what counts A new study focusing on the number of dividing bacterial cells in the North Sea challenges some dogmas about marine microbial life. An Ocean of tiny wonders How bacteria thriving on simple storage glycans shape the communities of free-floating microbes during microalgal blooms Gutless marine worms on a Mediterranean diet: Animals can synthesize phytosterols Study describes marine worms that can synthesize phytosterols de novo, and shows that many other animals have the genes to make these plant sterols. Sophisticated gene memory Frankfurt researchers develop new method to genetically compare hundreds of animal species The climate crisis and biodiversity crisis can’t be approached as two separate things New review study released in the journal Science offers new solutions for combating climate change and biodiversity loss Less Ice, Fewer Calling Seals Their initial findings indicate that sea-ice retreat has had significant effects on the animals’ behaviour. Measuring plankton growth across the Pacific Ocean Expedition SO298 crosses the Equatorial Pacific to assess nutrient supply, plankton productivity and ocean carbon uptake Less Sea Ice, More Herring Ancient DNA from the ocean floor reveals how climate change could fundamentally transform marine ecosystems in the Arctic Stones for the climate A new Hereon study models how dissolved rock affects the sequestration of CO2 in the ocean International project launched to conserve biodiversity in the Mediterranean region Researchers will develop management options for better balance of sea urchins and fish in marine forests Reactive oxygen impacts carbon cycling in tidal sands Reactive oxygen species have a great impact on mineralization processes in tidal sandflats, study finds.
