The successful implementation of the proposed DFG research group 1740 'Atlantic Freshwater Cycle' requires a well-structured scientific and organizational coordination. The coordination is a scientific and administrative activity that is key for reaching the goals of the research group. The coordinate assistance is essential, working closely together with the coordinator, to ensure support for all subprojects. In detail, the coordination is responsible for the successful implementation and performance of the project and to provide assistance in the networking within the research group, to exchange information, and to stimulate the collaboration between individual TPs. An important task of the coordination will also be to inform the outside world about the work within FOR1740, in enhancing the interaction between the early carrier scientists and organizing regular FOR1740 meetings. The coordination will maintain the project website and be responsible for outreach. The coordination will also have the responsibility of organizing international conferences on freshwater and salinity research.
Das Fischereiamt der Senatsverwaltung für Mobilität, Verkehr, Klimaschutz und Umwelt (SenMVKU) hat heute 400.000 junge Aale in Havel, Spree und Dahme ausgesetzt. Die Aktion ist Teil des länderübergreifenden Projekts „Laicherbestandserhöhung beim Europäischen Aal im Einzugsgebiet der Elbe” und setzt ein klares Zeichen für den aktiven Schutz bedrohter Arten im Berliner Stadtgebiet. Die neuen Bewohner der Berliner Gewässer bringen jeweils bis zu 7 Gramm auf die Waage – zusammen rund 2.750 Kilogramm vitaler Jungfische. Senatorin Ute Bonde betont die Bedeutung des Projekts für den Berliner Naturschutz: „400.000 junge Aale in unseren Gewässern – das ist aktiver Naturschutz mitten in der Großstadt. Berlin trägt damit Verantwortung für eine der bedrohten Arten Europas. Der Europäische Aal ist seit Jahrzehnten auf dem Rückzug, und wir wollen gemeinsam mit unseren Partnern, der EU und den Berliner Fischerinnen und Fischern dafür sorgen, dass er in Havel, Spree und Dahme eine Zukunft hat. Berlins Gewässer sind Lebensraum – und deren Schutz ist uns eine Investition wert.” Die jungen Aale wurden zwischen November und Februar in französischen Flussmündungen zum Atlantik gefangen und in den vergangenen Wochen in einer deutschen Aalfarm auf ihre neue Umgebung vorbereitet. Gut ernährt und kräftig gewachsen, wurden die Tiere nun in ihre natürlichen Aufwuchsgewässer entlassen. Beim Europäischen Aal wird seit mehr als 30 Jahren ein kontinuierlicher Bestandsrückgang verzeichnet. Die Ursachen sind vielfältig: Querbauwerke wie Schleusen und Wehre erschweren dem Langdistanzwanderfisch den Zugang zu geeigneten Lebensräumen erheblich. Die heutige Besatzmaßnahme soll nicht nur den Gesamtbestand stärken, sondern auch sicherstellen, dass der Aal in den Gewässersystemen erhalten bleibt, in denen er ursprünglich heimisch ist. Die Besatzmaßnahmen werden durch Mittel der Europäischen Union sowie der Senatsverwaltung für Justiz und Verbraucherschutz gefördert. Die Gesamtinvestition für den Aalbesatz 2026 beläuft sich auf 138.000 Euro, davon 68.900 Euro EU-Fördermittel und 29.500 Euro Landesmittel. An der Umsetzung beteiligt sind die Fischersozietät Tiefwerder-Pichelsdorf, die Köpenicker Fischervereinigung e.V. sowie das Fischereiamt Berlin. Das Projekt wird wissenschaftlich begleitet.
The data layers provided show current values for seawater temperature, pH, calcite and aragonite saturation (%), oxygen concentration, and particulate organic carbon (POC) flux to the seafloor at different depths (500, 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000m) at the present day (1951-2000) and changes in these variables expected between 2041-2060 and 2081-2100 under different RCP scenarios. The data layers were generated following the methods described in Levin et al. (2020). In short, in 2019, we obtained the present day and future ocean projections for the different years which were compiled from all available data generated by Earth Systems Models as part of the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Three Earth System Models, including GFDL‐ESM‐2G, IPSL‐CM5A‐MR, and MPI‐ESM‐MR were collected and multi-model averages of temperature, pH, O2 , export production at 100-m depth (epc100), carbonate ion concentration (co3), and carbonate ion concentration for seawater in equilibrium with aragonite (co3satarg) and calcite (co3satcalc) were calculated. The epc100 was converted to export POC flux at the seafloor using the Martin curve (Martin et al., 1987) following the equation: POC flux = export production*(depth/export depth)0.858. The export depth was set to 100 m, and the water depth using the ETOPO1 Global Relief Model (Amante and Eakins, 2008). Seafloor aragonite and calcite saturation were computed by dividing co3 by co3satarg and co3satcalc. All variableswere reported as the inter-annual mean projections between 1951-2000, 2041-2060, and 2081-2100. The data for calcite and aragonite saturation can be found in Morato et al. (2020).
Global change exposes brown algal Fucus vesiculosus populations to increasing temperature and pCO2, which may threaten individuals, in particular the early life-stages. Genetic diversity of F. vesiculosus populations is low in the Baltic compared to Atlantic populations. This might jeopardise their potential for adaptation to environmental changes. Here, we report on the responses of early life-stage F. vesiculosus to warming and acidification in a near-natural scenario maintaining natural and seasonal variation (spring 2013–2014) of the Kiel Fjord in the Baltic Sea, Germany (54°27ʹN, 10°11ʹW). We assessed how stress sensitivity differed among sibling groups and how genetic diversity of germling populations affected their stress tolerance. Warming increased growth rates of Fucus germlings in spring and in early summer, but led to higher photoinhibition in spring and decreased their survival in late summer. Acidification increased germlings' growth in summer but otherwise showed much weaker effects than warming. During the colder seasons (autumn and winter), growth was slow while survival was high compared to spring and summer, all at ambient temperatures. A pronounced variation in stress response among genetically different sibling groups (full-sib families) suggests a genotypic basis for this variation and thus a potential for adaptation for F. vesiculosus populations to future conditions. Corroborating this, survival in response to warming in populations with higher diversity was better than the mean survival of single sibling groups. We conclude that impacts on early life-stages depend on the combination of stressors and season and that genetic variation is crucial for the tolerance to global change stress.
This data publication contains maps resulting from spatial prioritisations conducted for the iAtlantic D5.3 report on Systematic Conservation Planning of the wider Atlantic Ocean based on results generated by the iAtlantic project. The maps were produced using the prioritizr R package (Hanson et al. 2023), which identifies priority areas for achieving specific conservation goals while minimising costs. The various prioritisations were developed to address multiple research questions related to: (1) identifying priority areas for conservation and restoration, (2) transboundary conservation, (3) climate-smart conservation planning, and (4) protecting 30% of the Atlantic Ocean, including 10% under strict protection. The results are organised into subfolders based on the research questions addressed and further categorised into data-rich and data-poor regions, along with aggregate results for each region. Further, the results are organised into subfolders representing multiple scenarios executed using various cost layers, including area-based, Global Fishing Watch (GFW, 2023) benthic, GFW total fishing, Global Fisheries Landings (GFL, Watson 2019) v4.0 benthic, and GFL v4.0 total landings. Each map filename provides descriptive information about the executed scenario.
The ship campaign PS147 (Atlantic Transit) with the German research vessel Polarstern took place from 12 March to 14 April 2025. The transit proceeded from Stanley, Falkland Islands, to Bremerhaven, Germany, with a stopover in Mindelo, Cape Verde, dividing the campaign into two sections, PS147/1 and PS147/2. During the voyage, several climate zones were crossed, including the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Here, we present the column water vapour retrieved from GNSS data. These data form part of a series of standardized datasets of atmospheric observations collected during the PS147 campaign.

Mean Deep Ocean stacked records weighted by ocean basin volume are also provided for: benthic δ18O, MDOT and δ18Oseawater and compiled from records described for the non-weighted stacks. The weighted stacks were created using basin weights defined using fixed deep ocean volume fractions following the volumetric approach of Lisiecki and Stern (2016) (see their Table S2), and renormalised to unity at each time step to reflect the ocean volume represented by the available records.
