Earth compartments. MOSES primarily targets four events: heat waves, hydrological extreme events , ocean eddies and the thawing of permafrost . Hydrological extreme events Recent global projections predict [...] the Northern Hemisphere’s land mass and a large portion of the Siberian and North American shelves. Arctic warming occurs at a much higher rate (by up to 8 to 10 times) compared to the rest of the world.

Labrador shelf was covered by a permanent but floating ice mass such as today’s ice cover of the Arctic Ocean. We finished our geological sampling work yesterday. Today and tomorrow are dedicated to collecting [...] the retreating ice stream. Instead, we aim at reconstructing the dynamic history of Labrador shelf ocean currents through the past few thousand years with these cores. At the end of the last glacial, when [...] large-scale environmental catastrophe, and it resulted in a significant disturbance of the established ocean current system on the Labrador shelf. On the long sediment cores, we will carry out different types

Currents transport plastic debris through the ocean, allowing it to accumulate even in remote areas like the Arctic. Unlike beach debris, the plastics in the ocean cannot be readily removed – and breaks down [...] intense research have shown that garbage can be found throughout the world’s oceans. Even in the most remote parts of the ocean, like the polar regions or the bottom of the deep sea, we can find large amounts [...] element Where does plastic debris end up? A great deal of the debris in and on the ocean ends up on beaches or the ocean floor. Especially deep-sea trenches have essentially become deposition sites for large
