A new paper in Biogeosciences demonstrates the role of topography for formation of hypoxia in coastal areas. In cooperation with researchers from Finnish Environment Institute, University of Helsinki and the Baltic Sea Centre, we have developed a model to identify areas prone to hypoxia. Hypoxia is an increasing problem in marine ecosystems around the world. […]
Detailed mapping of Hoburg Bank
Hoburg’s Bank south of Gotland has high conservation values, which we already knew. A current project is now mapping the bank’s conservation values by combining modern hydrographic surveys with biological sampling and modeling. The result will be high-resolution maps showing the distribution of benthic species and the biotopes related to high conservation values. During the […]
