Evidence of the impacts of anthropogenic climate change on marine ecosystems is
accumulating, but must be evaluated in the context of the “normal” climate cycles and …

Hypoxia has become a world-wide phenomenon in the global coastal ocean and causes a

Substantial ecological changes occurred in the 1970s in the Northern Baltic during a
temporary period of low salinity (S). This period was preceded by an episodic increase in the …

Due to the ephemeral nature of the atmospheric conditions over the Baltic Sea, the flow
