Coordination Action Carbon Observing System (COCOS) (Project)

COCOS represents the European contribution to GEOSS carbon variables. It aims at enhancing the interoperability of data sets on carbon in the atmosphere, biosphere, and oceans; to improve regional modellling of carbon fluxes in ecosystems and make data on critical carbon pools available: organic soils, tropical forests, permafrost.

Climatic change and variability - case study in East Greenland waters (Project)

The project focuses on climatic change and variability and the impact on the marine environment and its fauna off East Greenland. The East Greenland Large Marine Ecosystem (EGrLME) is strongly influenced by the mechanisms of the North Pole basin and ice cap where the effects of climate change are most pronounced. This places this EGrLME at the forefront of the impacts from climate change and...

Integrated Carbon Observation System – Preparatory Phase (EU) (Project)

ICOS will build an infrastructure for co-ordinated, integrated, long-term high-quality observational data of the greenhouse gas balance of Europe and of adjacent key regions of Siberia and Africa

Stock assessment: Monitoring and biological investigations of Antarctic krill stocks and development of conservation measures under CCAMLR (Project)

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are worldwide the largest but hardly exploited marine living resource. Annual catch rates exceed 100.000 t, compared to a maximum potential catch limit of almost 5 million t set by CCAMLR. Currently, an increase in catch rates is expected for the coming years, because new products have been developed for mariculture and pharmaceutical markets including chitosan...

Passammoni - Passive sampler measurements for the determination of a representative ammonia background contamination (Project)

At present only very little is known about the distribution of ammonia background contamination. However the knowledge about it gets more and more important, especially concerning approval procedures in the area of animal housing. The determination of the ammonia background contamination by passive samplers in a small area shall help to answer this question.

Influence of climate change on the transmission of vectors (here: Ixodidae) (UFOPLAN research and development project FKZ 3708 49 400) (Project)

In the years 2008-2011 the development of the population of Ixodes ricinus at several places in Germany will be measured. These data will be connected with climate data. I.r. is one of the most important vectors for tick-borne diseases of animals and humans (TBEV, Lyme Borrelia, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Babesia and others).
