Gathering data on climate change in the North Atlantic

MERIAN Expedition MSM129 continues long-term observations in the Labrador Sea. As a crucial part of the global ocean conveyor belt, the Atlantic Ocean transports heat northwards – a process that…

New in­sights into the de­grad­a­tion dy­nam­ics of or­ganic ma­ter­ial in the sea­floor

Sci­entific pub­lic­a­tion on the role of mi­cro­bial com­munit­ies in the mar­ine car­bon cycle. Many processes in the deep sea are not yet well understood, and the role of microbial communities…

New discoveries about the nature of light

…could improve methods for heating fusion plasma. Both literally and figuratively, light pervades the world. It banishes darkness, conveys telecommunications signals between continents and makes visible the invisible, from faraway…

On the trail of global climate change

– volcanism as a driver of the climate in the “Carnic crisis”. New research on the so-called ‘Carnian Crisis’ by a team led by Alexander Lukeneder, palaeontologist at the Natural…

‘Vigorous melting’ at Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier

Satellite radar data show kilometer-scale seawater intrusion, causing ice to rise and fall. A team of glaciologists led by researchers at the University of California, Irvine used high-resolution satellite radar…

Zombie cells in the sea

Viruses keep the most common marine bacteria in check. Marine microbes control the flux of matter and energy essential for life in the oceans. Among them, the bacterial group SAR11…
