Human activities contribute to a higher pollution load in the sea. Researchers at the Baltic Sea Science Centre study the transportation of different types of pollution, such as nutrients or hazardous substances, from land to sea.

Over long timescales, the circulation systems co-evolve with ice sheets, mountain ranges, and redistributions of carbon in the climate system. Researcher study the circulation and associated feedback mechanisms that influence exchanges of energy and materials between compartments of the climate system, and create teleconnections and climate variability.
Our research combines knowledge from geology, oceanography, biogeochemistry, ecology, and economics to provide a broad, interdisciplinary understanding of coastal ecosystems in the Baltic Sea and how they are affected by human activities, pollution, and climate change.

Research in Meteorology and Atmospheric Science deals with the atmosphere's three layers: the Troposphere, the Mesosphere and the Stratosphere. We study how and why the atmosphere moves, how aerosols (small particles) form, are transported and interact with clouds, precipitation and solar radiation, and how this affects polar climates.

The field of oceanography encompasses both surface currents and deep water circulation. Surface currents and the overturning water that forms deep water currents distribute heat and salt between different regions of the Earth as well as different depths in the oceans.
Research on the open sea focuses on how the large-scale ecosystem dynamics of the Baltic Sea are changed by human impacts. Issues include eutrophication, the impact of fisheries, and how environmental toxins are transported and dispersed in the sea.
