Sediment analyses of three sediment cores from Galway Mound, NE-Atlantik
During the past decade, knowledge about the ecology and the environment of giant carbonate mounds has been growing continuously. However, still little is known about their... -
Baseline characteristics of climate, permafrost, and land cover from Samoylov...
Samoylov Island is centrally located within the Lena River Delta at 72° N, 126° E and lies within the Siberian zone of continuous permafrost. The landscape on Samoylov Island... -
Distribution of Florisphaera profunda and Helicosphaera carteri in down core ...
A detailed assessment of the respective roles of production, export, and subsequent preservation of organic carbon (Corg) in the eastern Mediterranean (EMED) sediments during... -
Fluxes and meteorological observations on Spitsbergen
Arctic permafrost may be adversely affected by climate change in a number of ways, so that establishing a world-wide monitoring program seems imperative. This thesis evaluates... -
Limitations of microbial hydrocarbon degradation at the Amon Mud Volcano (Nil...
The Amon mud volcano (MV), located at 1250 m water depth on the Nile Deep Sea Fan, is known for its active emission of methane and non-methane hydrocarbons into the hydrosphere.... -
Sediment community responses to marine versus terrigenous organic matter in t...
The Whittard canyon is a branching submarine canyon on the Celtic continental margin, which may act as a conduit for sediment and organic matter (OM) transport from the European... -
Biogeochemical measurements associated to deep-sea wood falls
Large organic food falls to the deep sea - such as whale carcasses and wood logs - support the development of reduced, sulfidic niches in an otherwise oxygenated, oligotrophic... -
Trace metals in sediments of the Var Canyon turbidite system at the DYFAMED s...
The magnitude and the chronology of anthropogenic impregnation by Hg and other trace metals of environmental concern (V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ag, Cd and Pb, including its stable... -
Anemone abundance and productivity at North Vulcano Island in May 2011
Increased seawater pCO2, and in turn 'ocean acidification' (OA), is predicted to profoundly impact marine ecosystem diversity and function this century. Much research has... -
Grain size and diatom valves in sediment cores KS82-30 and KS82-31
Diatoms were studied quantitatively in six latest Quaternary (~70 kyr B.P. to Recent) piston cores from the westernmost Mediterranean, the Alboran Basin, and the Atlantic region... -
Plant communities and soil chemistry of shrub-steppe and pine savannah grassl...
Habitat fragmentation alters the edges of remnant habitat patches. We examined changes in the plant community and soil in relation to distance from edge and edge type for... -
Mats of psychrophilic thiotrophic bacteria associated with cold seeps of the ...
This study focused on the bacterial diversity associated with microbial mats of deep-sea cold seeps at the Norwegian continental margin. Study sites included the Storegga and... -
Homogenization of Portuguese long-term temperature data series: Lisbon, Coimb...
Three long-term temperature data series measured in Portugal were studied to detect and correct non-climatic homogeneity breaks and are now available for future studies of... -
Investigations of artificial sediments from two deep-sea in situ recolonizati...
Commercial exploitation and abrupt changes of the natural conditions may have severe impacts on the Arctic deep-sea ecosystem. The present recolonisation experiment mimicked a... -
Diatom biostratigraphy and sea ice concentration reconstruction from core DA0...
A diatom-based sea-ice concentration (SIC) transfer function is developed using 72 surface samples from west of Greenland and around Iceland, and through comparison with the... -
Radiocarbon ages and diatom abundance in cores GA306-BC4 and GA306-GC4 obtain...
Diatom assemblages from Holsteinsborg Dyb on the West Greenland shelf were analysed with high temporal resolution for the last 1200 years. A high degree of consistency between... -
Species-specific consequences of ocean acidification for the calcareous tropi...
Ocean acidification (OA), resulting from increasing dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) in surface waters, is likely to affect many marine organisms, particularly those that calcify.... -
Interacting effects of CO2 partial pressure and temperature on photosynthesis...
We show here that CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and temperature significantly interact on coral physiology. The effects of increased pCO2 and temperature on photosynthesis,... -
Dust and calcium record in calculated for ice core EPICA Dome C
Ice core data from Antarctica provide detailed insights into the characteristics of past climate, atmospheric circulation, as well as changes in the aerosol load of the... -
Ocean acidification and its potential effects on the early life-history of no...
Ocean acidification, as a result of increased atmospheric CO2, has the potential to adversely affect the larval stages of many marine organisms and hence have profound effects...
