In recent decades, the land-ocean aquatic continuum, commonly defined as the interface, or
transition zone, between terrestrial ecosystems and the open ocean, has undergone …

The hypoxic zone in the Baltic Sea has increased in area about four times since 1960 and
widespread oxygen deficiency has severely reduced macro benthic communities below the …

Internal waves occur nearly ubiquitously in lakes and oceans yet their sedimentary records
remain largely unrecognized. Waves propagate at the interface between fluids of different …

In this paper we provide an overview of new knowledge on oxygen depletion (hypoxia) and
related phenomena in aquatic systems resulting from the EU-FP7 project HYPOX (" In situ …

Concerns have grown over the increase of nutrients and pollutants discharged into the
estuaries and coastal seas. The retention and export of these materials inside a system …

Continental shelf sediments are places of both rapid organic carbon turnover and
accumulation, while at the same time increasingly subjected to human-induced …

Rapidly spreading industrialization since the 19th century has led to a drastic increase in
trace metal deposition in coastal sediments. Provided that these trace metals have remained …

Paralia sulcata is a diatom commonly found in both the plankton and benthos of coastal
environments. This species is heavily silicified and thus preserves well in sedimentary …

Photosynthesis evolved in the oceans more than 3 billion years ago and has persisted
throughout all major extinction events in Earth's history. The most recent of such events is …

A dispersion model coupled with the Princeton Ocean Model was used to estimate the
average residence time of the water in Jiaozhou Bay. The tidal simulation agreed quite well …
