The Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge Vent Fields - A valuable Resource for Marine Bioprospecting?
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-05-25)The past decade the awareness for sustainability has come more and more into focus of society in terms of a need for eco-friendlier processes and renewable energies, new and better pharmaceuticals, and agricultural- and ... -
Carnivorous sponges of the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Phylogeny, taxonomy, distribution and microbial associations of the Cladorhizidae (Demospongiae, Poecilosclerida)
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-11-29)The sponges (phylum Porifera) are defined by the presence of an aquiferous system in which choanoflagellate cells create a current and filter water flowing through the sponge body. The carnivorous sponges represent the ... -
Experimental methods to study the process of snow-ice formation induced by saltwater rise
(Master thesis, 2018-11-09)The Arctic region is experiencing a change from thick multiyear to much younger and thinner sea ice. In many places, increasing precipitation is leading to higher snow loads on young sea ice. Hence seawater can infiltrate ... -
Implications of a changing Arctic on microbial communities: Following the effects of thawing permafrost from land to sea
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-06-14)Climate change has severe impacts in the Arctic, where permafrost is thawing, glaciers are retreating and sea ice is melting. These physical changes are not only affecting large predators like polar bears, but also microscopic ... -
Spatial Patterns, Mechanisms, and Predictability of Barents Sea Ice Change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Recent Arctic winter sea ice loss has been most pronounced in the Barents Sea. Here we explore the spatial structure of Barents Sea ice change as observed over the last 40 years. The dominant mode of winter sea ice ... -
A view on possible regime shifts in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre in the mid 1920s and 1990s
(Master thesis, 2014-10-22)There is strong observational support for two significant warming episodes of the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre (SPG), one starting in the mid 1920s the other in the mid 1990s. Possible mechanisms responsible for the two ...
