The Coastal Observing System for Northern and Arctic Seas (COSYNA) was established in
order to better understand the complex interdisciplinary processes of northern seas and the …

Large areas of the oceanic shelf are composed of sandy sediments through which reactive
solutes are transported via porewater advection fueling active microbial communities. The …

A series of multibeam bathymetry surveys revealed the emergence of a large pockmark field
in the southeastern North Sea. Covering an area of around 915 km2, up to 1,200 pockmarks …

The Pacific oyster (Magallana gigas) is an invasive species in the Wadden Sea transforming
parts of it permanently. M. gigas, as an ecosystem engineer, builds reef structures that are …

The effect of bedforms on frictional roughness felt by the overlying flow is crucial to the
regional modelling of estuaries and coastal seas. Bedforms are also a key marker of …

Ebb‐tidal deltas are highly dynamic environments affected by both waves and currents that
approach the coast under various angles. Among other bedforms of various scales, these …

The processes of sediment entrainment, transport, and deposition over bedforms are highly
dynamic and temporally and spatially variable. Obtaining measurements to understand …

Benthic oxygen fluxes consist mostly of advective and diffusive terms. Both terms in the
German Bight exhibit a prominent annual cycle but with opposite variation patterns. To …

Ripples and small-scale bedforms are ubiquitous in shallow water environments under the
combined action of currents and waves. Small scale processes linked to their formation and …

Parceling the anthropogenic and natural (geological) sources of fossil methane in the
atmosphere remains problematic due to a lack of distinctive chemical markers for their …
