BROCHURE ON OCEAN OBSERVATORIES
Ocean observatories for earth system sciences in the key region Atlantic-Arctic Ocean
This brochure offers a vision for an integrated network of ocean observatories in the North Atlantic/Arctic Ocean region. There is an enormous need by society for ocean observation in this rapidly changing key region of the Earth system, with consequences for our climate, for the coastal regions and for the sustainable use and protection of marine ecosystems. With this initiative, the German marine research community aims to contribute knowledge and infrastructure for a better understanding of change in the polar region, and for a better planning of societal response.
It is a main goal of the German Marine Research Consortium to realize this vision within this decade, in close cooperation with our European partners and other international collaborators.
The brochure is available as a PDF file in English language:

BROCHURE ON COASTAL RESEARCH
Change in Coastal Seas
Coasts are exceptionally dynamic areas. They are subject to highly fluctuating, sometimes extreme influences from sea, land and atmosphere. Against the backdrop of global change, coastal research needs to identify factors controlling coastal processes at an early stage, and needs to determine which countermeasures are both necessary and feasible. The brochure "Küstenmeere im Wandel" (Change in Coastal Seas), put together by the German Marine Research Consortium, outlines development trends at the German coast and defines areas requiring further research.
