Satellite altimetry data are used to study the long-term dynamics variability of the Black Sea
from 1993 to 2013, its dependence on wind forcing and its impact on the marine ecosystem …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have recently been at the forefront of climate research due to
their devastating impacts on the marine environment. In this study, we have evaluated the …

The current knowledge about spatial and temporal dynamics of the Black Sea's
thermohaline structure is incomplete because of missing data and sparse distribution of …

We show that from 1955 to 2015, the inventory of oxygen in the Black Sea has decreased by
44% and the basin-averaged oxygen penetration depth has decreased from 140 m in 1955 …

The ocean is a central element of the Earth system and dominates the global water, energy
and carbon cycles (Abram et al. Citation 2019; von Schuckmann et al. Citation 2019) …

Abstract Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) aims to promote sustainable
management of coastal zones based on ecosystem and holistic management approaches …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) ecosystem models of shelf environments should properly
account for the biogeochemical cycling within the sea floor. However, a full and explicit …

Abstract The Black Sea is characterized by powerful summer coccolithophore blooms with
strong interannual variability. In this paper, we used satellite and Bio-Argo measurements to …

Cross-shelf exchanges in the Black Sea were investigated using remote sensing data and
an ocean circulation model to which an eddy-tracking algorithm and Lagrangian particle …

Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous features of oceanic circulation and important contributors
to the transport of water and heat as well as chemical and biological constituents. In the …
