The northernmost extension of the North Atlantic Current system consists of the circulation of Atlantic [...] integration of the vertical velocity obtained from the LADCP and checked against the 1-second averages of the CTD records. The position was obtained from the navigation files of the ship with the resolution [...] s with the use of bottom landers directly at the sea floor (in situ).

learning more about the ecosystem of the deep and how it reacts to human activities at the surface is indispensable. Antarctic sponge ground (Photo: Luisa Federwisch) The landscapes of the deep sea The deep sea [...] in 150 years of deep-sea research we have only managed to take a closer look at a small fraction of this ecosystem; in fact, we know more about the dark side of the moon than we do about the ocean depths [...] considers all waters beyond the reach of light from the surface to be part of the deep sea. This lightless deep sea encompasses ca. 88 percent of the global oceans and begins at a depth of 200 metres. Consequently

screening of global databases of the regions V4 and V9 of the 18s-rDNA, demonstrated the presence of our parasites beyond the North Atlantic coastal regions. In a biweekly metabarcoding survey of the diatom [...] on HABs in the Gulf of Naples, a number of harmful species were detected for the first time, pointing at the relevance of the metabarcoding approach in monitoring aimed at the protection of human health [...] indicate a lack of gene references in the group of Zygnematophyceae to further investigate the genetic diversity.

Aims of this Symposium There are five major aims of this symposium
