This research project evaluates basin wide monitoring data from the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI). The aim of the research project is understanding basin wide nutrient and oxygen transformation processes based on long-term monitoring data.
This project aims to use the Baltic Sea to test the hypothesis whether the sediment methane legacy pool, especially derived from the organic carbon legacy pool with large proportion of terrestrial organic carbon, will be a long-lasting source of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere from years to centuries.
The Baltic Sea ecosystem and marine life are exposed to many different impact factors at the same time. The BalticCAT research project further develops a food web model that will calculate the effects of a large number of natural and human impact factors.
How does small gravitational changes, or microgravity, caused by the moon, affect growth and reproduction in bladderwrack? Can macroalgae adapt to the space environment and be used for cultivation in the future?
This research project is conducted within the CoastClim research group and brings together cutting-edge expertise in marine ecology, biogeochemistry and atmospheric physics to quantify the full spectrum of habitat-specific greenhouse gas fluxes and aerosol production in the Baltic coastal zone.
The project compiles and synthesizes data on micropollutants in wastewater emitted in the Baltic Sea drainage basin and reviews effects associated with chemicals in wastewater in the Baltic Sea catchment.
The project evaluates whether Baltic cod food intake and metabolism have varied the last 85 years, similar to what recent findings suggest. It also explores how trophic level may have changed over the last 85 years by analysing ∂15N in archived otoliths.
Baltic herring, also known as "herring" north of Kalmar Sound, was previously the most common fish and a keystone species in the Baltic Sea ecosystem, connecting lower trophic levels with higher ones.
The goal of the project FutureMares is to provide socially and economically viable actions and strategies in support of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Pollution Load Compilations (PLC) have been an integral part of The Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (HELCOM) assessments since 1987, focusing on annual and periodic assessments of inputs of nutrients and selected hazardous substances. PLC-8 provides assessments of nutrient and contaminant inputs to the Baltic Sea.
In this project the goal is to develop new knowledge about how horse-dense and trampled horse paddocks affect the aquatic environment, and to contribute with a scientific basis for measures on horse farms to reduce the nutrient losses from horse husbandries.
This research project studies the herring spawning activity in the Stockholm Archepelgo in relation to population structure and integrity, by measuring the density of herring larvae during the spawning period.
The BalticHER-project studies the population structure of locally spawning herring on the Swedish east coast. The study will evaluate by cross-checking genetical and otolith chemistry methods whether natal homing is a population structuring mechanism.
Nutrients that accumulate in soils and in the bottom sediments of lakes and streams have a long-term impact on eutrophication in the Baltic Sea. The modeling project “Legacy nutrient dynamics in the Baltic Sea catchment: implications for managing eutrophication” will estimate the magnitude of these legacies and suggest appropriate measures.
Levande kust is a full-scale demonstration project with the objective to show that it is possible to restore a eutrophic bay and to find out the costs and lessons that can be learned from such a project.
The Baltic Sea is highly influenced by the catchment areas, whith more complex pH dynamics than in the open ocean. This research project improves the temporal and spatial coverage of acidification monitoring, to broaden the understanding of current acidification trends and to improve the capacity to predict future changes.
In the project Pilot Stockholm Archipelago, the aim is to through local involvement develop and test a management model for regional ecosystem-based marine management that will help achieve the Swedish environmental objectives. Please switch to the Swedish page for more information about the project.
PlantFish is a three year research project about the role of interactions between benthic plants and large predatory fish in coastal areas of the Baltic Sea. The project examines the functional role of vegetation and predatory fish and how they interact, with focus on the ecosystems of shallow Baltic Sea bays.
Pollution Load Compilations (PLC), have been an integral part of The Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (HELCOM) assessments since 1987, focusing on assessments of inputs of nutrients and selected hazardous substances.
Stockholm University's graduate school in marine, climate and environmental issues is directed towards students from diverse disciplines, interested in understanding their own research in a broad and interdisciplinary context.
