Coccolithophores and calcite saturation state in the Baltic and Black Seas

The Baltic and Black Seas are both brackish, that is to say both have salinities intermediate between freshwater and seawater. The coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi is abundant in one, the Black Sea, but absent from the other, the Baltic Sea. Here we present summertime coccolithophore measurements confirming this difference, as well as data on the calcium carbonate saturation state of the Balti...

Eutrophication in the Baltic Sea from area-specific biological effects to interdisciplinary consequences

The semi-enclosed topography and the strong anthropogenic pressures make the Baltic Sea vulnerable to environmentally induced ecological changes. The large-scale nutrient overenrichment is one of the most serious threats against the health and future perspectives of the Baltic Sea ecosystem. To combat the eutrophication in a complex marine ecosystem, an interdisciplinary agenda is needed. Co-op...

Scientific Support by the BONUS+ Projects for the Sustainability of the Baltic Sea Region: The Case of the HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan

The synthesis of the BONUS+ research is introduced. The HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan is examined as a case to illustrate the potentials and challenges in building the science-policy making interface on a macro regional level. The projects address environmental challenges in the Baltic Sea as defined by the Baltic Sea Action Plan, or consider the environmental governance and decision making wit...

Temperature Distribution of Particles in a Laser Beam

This article studies the particle temperature distribution depending on the laser radiation power and the particle’s trajectory and velocity. The uneven heating of particles moving in the laser radiation field is identified. The regimes of laser heating without melting, with partial melting, and with complete particle melting are considered.
