Abstract Based on the Baltic Earth Assessment Reports of this thematic issue in Earth
System Dynamics and recent peer-reviewed literature, current knowledge of the effects of …

Large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, are produced in anoxic sediments by
methanogenic archaea. Nonetheless, over 90% of the produced methane is oxidized via …

Urban areas confront a number of environmental issues including excessive thermal stress
and concentrated emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants. In past decades, many …

Coastal methane (CH4) emissions dominate the global ocean CH4 budget and can offset
the “blue carbon” storage capacity of vegetated coastal ecosystems. However, current …

Global marine heatwave assessments often rely on satellite-derived sea surface
temperature. However, these data have low accuracy in coastal areas, are unable to …

Two long-lasting high-pressure systems in summer 2018 led to persisting heatwaves over
Scandinavia and other parts of Europe and an extended summer period with devastating …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) can cause devastating impacts in coastal marine ecosystems,
particularly in shallow marginal seas, thereby making the understanding of the drivers of …

Since the early 1980ies, the shallow and brackish Baltic Sea, located in northern Europe,
has warmed fastest of all the world's coastal seas. Hence, the total heat exposure during …

Temperature and salinity are key factors in controlling marine habitats and gas fluxes.
Finnish and Swedish temperature and salinity monitoring data from the northern Baltic Sea …

This paper presents a comprehensive study of biogenic dimethylated sulfur compounds and
methane (CH4) from 27 March to 16 April 2018 (spring) and from 24 July to 10 August 2018 …
