The Baltic Sea is one of the best-surveyed and studied seas on Earth. Yet the Baltic Sea circulation and its role in the complex climate system is neither fully quantified nor understood, in spite of important implications for coastal societies of the Baltic Sea region.

CoastClim is an interdisciplinary consortium of researchers and advanced research infrastructure that facilitates addresing questions regarding the links between coastal biodiversity and our climate. It brings together expertise in modelling, marine ecology, biogeochemistry and atmospheric research as well as policy analysis and communication from Stockholm University and University of Helsinki.
