Capacity Building in Nordwest-Russland zum Management gefährlicher Stoffe

Durch das Beratungshilfeprogramm des BMU werden Staaten Mittel- und Osteuropas, Südosteuropas, im Südkaukasus und in Zentralasien sowie die Russische Förderation bei der Verbesserung des Umweltschutzes, der Stärkung ihrer Umweltverwaltungen und beim Aufbau der Zivilgesellschaft unterstützt. Der im November 2007 Baltic Sea Action Plan legt fest, dass der Eintrag gefährlicher Stoffe in die Ostsee verringert werden muss. Gerade in Russland genügen die technischen Standards von Industrieanlagen, Kläranlagen und der Landwirtschaft oftmals nicht den europäischen Anforderungen und Abwässer aus Industrieanlagen oder Haushalten werden nicht ausreichend gereinigt in die Ostsee eingeleitet. Im Rahmen des Projekts informieren sich Vertreter/Innen relevanter russischer Verwaltungen über die Grundlagen der Klassifizierung und Bewertung gefährlicher Stoffe in der EU. Das Projekt leistet mit dieser Schulungsmaßnahme einen wichtigen Beitrag zur erfolgreichen Umsetzung des Baltic Sea Action Plan.

Interreg III B, Development and institutional implementation of a transnational monitoring system for hazardous waste streams in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR HAZ Control)

Nachhaltige Nutzung Mariner Ressourcen (Submariner) - Interreg IVB BSR Project

The Baltic Sea Region (BSR) faces enormous challenges including growing transport, new installations, fishery declines, severe marine pollution with excessive nutrient input and the effects of climate change. But the future is not all bleak: novel technologies and growing knowledge provide opportunities for new uses of marine ecosystems, which may in the future not only have commercial appeal but also contribute to solve environmental problems. Algae and mussel cultivation reduce nutrient inflow while providing a source for bioenergy; offshore wind farms can smartly be combined with mariculture or wave energy installations; blue biotechnology utilises substances from marine organisms for development of new products that can improve overall BSR health. All these uses and technologies have, however, not been tested sufficiently within the fragile conditions of the Baltic Sea and their cumulative impacts on the environment, economic feasibility and regional applicability are not yet fully understood. It is thus currently difficult for decision-makers to judge which uses are most desirable and what actions are necessary to create a framework beneficial to their development while discouraging potentially damaging uses. SUBMARINER builds the road for furthering those environmentally friendly as well as economically appealing innovative uses within the BSR, thus contributing toward its aim to become a model region for sustainable sea management.

Northern seas wind index database (NORSEWIND)

NORSEWInD is a programme designed to provide a wind resource map covering the Baltic, Irish and North Sea areas. The project will acquire highly accurate, cost effective, physical data using a combination of traditional Meteorological masts, ground based remote sensing instruments (LiDAR & SoDAR) and Satellite acquired SAR winds. The vertical resolution of the ground based instruments will be used to calibrate the Satellite data to provide hub height, real world data. The resultant wind map will be the first stop for all potential developers in the regions being examined, and as such represents an important step forward in quantifying the quality of the wind resource available offshore. The techniques employed are fully transferrable, meaning that they can be repeated in any offshore environment. This will be showcased in the NORSEWInD validation task. Remote sensing has a hugely important role to play within the wind industry, and their use within the NORSEWInD programme to reduce the cost and increase the accuracy of offsore wind measurements will increase acceptance and showcase the ability and power of the techniques.

Interreg III B, Safe and Reliable Transport of Dangerous Goods in the Baltic Sea Region (DaGoB)

Interreg III B, Coastal Zone Management in the Baltic Sea Region (COASTMAN)

SINCOS II: Sinking Coasts - Geosphere, Climate and Anthroposphere of the Holocene Southern Baltic Sea (angegliedert), Entwicklung der Wirbeltierfauna und die damit im Zusammenhang stehenden Umweltveränderungen im Holozän im südwstlichen Ostseegebiet mit besonderer Beobachtung der Mecklenburger Bucht

Ziel ist es, Kenntnisse über die Wirbeltierfauna und deren Wandel im Holozän insbesondere in der Mecklenburger Bucht zu erlangen. Ein Schwerpunkt dabei betrifft die Auswirkungen der Littorina-Transgression, in deren Verlauf - etwas zwischen 6700 und 6400 calBC - dieses Gebiet unter marinen Einfluss geriet. Die vor allen auf heute submarinen steinzeitlichen Siedlungsplätzen gefundenen Tierknochen bewerten nach Artenzusammensetzung und Artenhäufigkeit den klimatischen Wandel mit seinen Auswirkungen auf Vegetation und Landschaft.

SINCOS: Sinking Coasts - Geosphere, Ecosphere and Anthroposphere of the Holocene Southern Baltic Sea - Part 1.4: Changing sea levels and (semi)terrestrial landscape development in the Baltic Sea coastral area, with special attention to the role of the Darss Sill

The research unit SINCOS, established by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, has been started in September 2002. The general target is the development of a model of the relation between geo-system, eco-system, climate and socio-economic system for sinking coasts of tideless seas to be developed as an example for the southern Baltic Sea since the Atlantikum. Geoscientists (geologists, geomorphologists, geodesists), biologists (palaeobotanists, palaezoologists), climate researchers and archaeologists will collaborate in order to investigate the cause and effect relation between driving forces (climatic and geological processes) and the response of the natural and social environment in the coastal areas of a transgressive sea. The reconstruction of the Litorina transgression west and east of the Darss sill structure plays the central role. Seven projects under the roof of SINCOS will deal with the acquisition and interpretation of proxy-data in order to reconstruct the history of the southwestern Baltic Sea since 8.000 calendar years BC. In the frame of two projects data will be integrated and models will be developed that mirror the processes of interrelation of different spheres to be investigated. Depending on the varying degree of quantification between measurable variables and qualitative observations models will differ between statistical data exploration and deterministic differential equations. A 4D GIS plays the central role in modelling and data integration. Results will be presented as time-dependent regionalizations of geo-, eco-, and socio-economical parameters. Simulations of future relative sea level change scenarios based on models developed are planned.
