The epoch of the Anthropocene, a period during which human activity has been the
dominant influence on climate and the environment, has witnessed a decline in oxygen …

Potential for, and limits to, adaptation to environmental changes are critical for resilience and
risk mitigation. The Mediterranean basin is a mosaic of biodiversity‐rich ecosystems long …

The oceans regulate our weather and climate from global to regional scales. They absorb
over 90% of accumulated heat in the climate system (IPCC Citation 2013) and over a quarter …

Data from profiling floats reveal that climate change in the Black Sea leads to the
disappearance of specific water masses. The observed thermohaline change is possibly an …

A complex interplay of palaeoclimatic, eustatic and tectonic processes led to fragmentation
and dissipation of the vast Tethys Ocean in Eocene–Oligocene times. The resulting …

Combination of altimetry-based method of eddy identification and historical hydrological
measurements for 1992–2015 is used to analyze the thermohaline and dynamic structure of …

This paper presents new observational data, which indicate that deep ventilation events in
the aerobic zone extending across the upper part of the permanent pycnocline may occur …

Today's oceans store as much dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the water column as there
is CO2 in the atmosphere, and as such dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important …

Continental shelf sediments are a major source of iron (Fe) for phytoplankton in surface
waters. In this study, we investigate the mechanisms that control release of Fe from shelf …

Surficial marine sediment samples were collected along the southeastern Black Sea
(Trabzon) coast. The sampling was conducted in June 2019 from eleven stations, with the …
