Evidence of aerobic methane oxidation coupled to denitrification has been provided for different freshwater environments, whereas the significance of this process for the marine realm has not been adequately investigated.

Atlantic multidecadal variability and the implications for North European precipitation
The North Atlantic exhibits temperature variations on multidecadal time scales, summarized as the Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV). The AMV plays an essential role for regional climate and is a key driver of the low-frequency variability in ...

Bathymetric Properties of the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Abstract. Marine science and engineering commonly require reliable information about seafloor depth (bathymetry), e.g. for studies of ocean circulation, bottom habitats, fishing resources, sediment transport, geohazards and site selection for platforms and cables.

Ventilation of the Northern Baltic Sea [PDF]
Abstract. The Baltic Sea is a semi-enclosed, brackish water sea in northern Europe. The deep basins of the central Baltic Sea regularly show hypoxic conditions. In contrast, the northern parts of the Baltic Sea, the Bothnian Sea and Bay, are well oxygenated.

Shallow estuaries, bays, and lagoons are generally considered hot spots of ocean productivity that often adjust rapidly to seasonal variations in atmospheric temperatures. During spring when biological reproductive processes begin in the temperate zones,

From weather data to river runoff: using spatiotemporal convolutional networks for discharge forecasting [PDF]
The quality of river runoff determines the quality of regional climate projections for coastal oceans or other estuaries. This study presents a novel approach to river runoff forecasting using convolutional long short-term memory (ConvLSTM) networks. Our

Investigating Hypoxic and Euxinic Area Changes Based on Various Datasets From the Baltic Sea
The Baltic Sea is a coastal sea with the world’s largest anthropogenically induced hypoxic bottom area. Although hypoxia has periodically occurred during the sea’s 8,000-year history, the rapid rise in the population and intensified agriculture after ...

Reconstructing N2-fixing cyanobacterial blooms in the Baltic Sea beyond observations using 6- and 7-methylheptadecane in sediments as specific biomarkers [PDF]
Summer cyanobacterial blooms represent a threat to the Baltic Sea ecosystem, causing deoxygenation of the bottom water and the spread of the so-called dead zones.

Postglacial water level changes of a drowned lake and river system in northeastern Mecklenburg Bay, southern Baltic Sea [PDF]
The postglacial geological evolution of the southwestern Baltic Sea is marked by dynamic water level developments, accompanied by pronounced coastline displacements and associated changes in coastal geomorphological features.

Evidence for cable bacteria inhabiting deep in anoxic sediment reveals a novel ecological niche
Background Cable bacteria are filamentous sulphide-oxidisers capable of cm-scale electron transport. They are generally considered restricted to the upper few oxic–suboxic cm of marine sediments, where they couple sulphide oxidation to oxygen or nitrate ...
