New Study: Significant Global Glacier Loss Inevitable If global temperatures rise by 2.7 degrees Celsius – in line with current climate policy – only a quarter of the glacier masses will be left. Oceans as Carbon Sinks: DFG Funds New Collaborative Research Center on Marine Sugars On May 28, 2025, the University of Greifswald and the University of Bremen received funding approval for the Transregional Collaborative Research Center (TRR) 420 “CONCENTRATE.” How climate change is altering the Arctic Ocean Polarstern expedition is off to the AWI-Hausgarten long-term observatory Climate change: Fewer young people in Hamburg feel threatened Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon publishes study results on citizens' risk awareness of climate change Marine heatwaves pose problems for coastal plankton AWI researchers examine the impact of heatwaves on the German Bight ecosystem How marine plankton adapts to a changing world New study shows how marine plankton responds to changing ocean conditions using lipidomics and data science tools Research project investigates freshened water under the ocean floor Start of an international expedition off the coast of New England A puzzling temperature pattern in the tropical Pacific The tropical Pacific not only impacts the weather in various regions of the world, but also determines the overall response of the climate system to anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Rising temperatures lead to unexpectedly rapid carbon release from soils How sensitively does organic carbon stored in soils react to changes in temperature and humidity? Artificial oxygen supply in coastal waters: A hope with risks Researchers warn: Technical measures are no substitute for reducing nutrients and protecting the climate How do calderas form on island arc volcanoes and what impact do they have?
