travelled north to investigate the water column of the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean. The individual water masses of the Southern Ocean can be easily distinguished on the basis of their physical properties [...] from the surface to the sea floor. This sampling at regular intervals is an important tool in physical and chemical oceanography to determine the circulation of the oceans on the one hand and the dissolved [...] dissolved concentrations of individual elements on the other. In this part of the Southern Ocean, such a comprehensive chemical sampling of the water column has never been carried out before. We are looking

The sea bass can tolerate temperatures in the North Sea, but the average temperature of 10 ° C in [...] flow velocities of 5-10 cm s -1 for optimal nutrient and CO 2 exchange on the surface of the thalli, as well as for the reduction of growth of epiphyts. In strong currents, the thalli of macroalgae become [...] materials. Cod is one of the species with the highest rate of the escapees, which can have a negative impact on the wild population by cross-breeding. The extreme temperature tolerance range of -1 ° C to 23 °

Christian Stepanek The Pliocene is seen in many ways as a possible analogue of future warm climate states. The question of the characteristics and of the dynamics of the climate of the Pliocene thus becomes [...] climate states of the Pliocene, sensitivity studies are also taken into account. These allow a better understanding of the climate of the Pliocene in the context of the climate forcings of the future. This [...] regions in the form of prepared, printable graphics and maps as well as their raw data, the preparation of the basics and knowledge on the topic of sea ice as well as the current expert assessment of the sea

The effectiveness of the solubility pump relies on the contrast between the large volume of the deep ocean that is ventilated by cold polar water masses and the relatively smaller volume of the oceanic [...] tification. 1.4 Thesis objectives The aim of this work is the estimation of the contribution of streamers to the lateral transport of biomass from the shelf domain to the open ocean. Only observational data
