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. 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 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 Oyster reefs and mussel banks support sediment accumulation in the Wadden Sea Study shows that the vertical accumulation of sediment in local tidal flats can keep up with rising sea levels even in the future. 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.
