21. Enrichment of biogenic and anthropogenic organic substances on sea spray aerosols
Abstract : The world’s oceans are the source of one of the most abundant types of natural aerosols, namely sea spray aerosols (SSA). By scattering solar radiation, SSA play a significant role in controlling the Earth’s radiation budget, while they are also involved in the formation of clouds, acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).

22. Investigations of the influence of physical factors on some marine ecological systems
Abstract : This thesis is about the conditions for life in the sea. The marine life forms may look disparate, but are joined by their common dependence of the fluid medium which they inhabit. The motion and the properties of the water in the sea largely determine the conditions with which all maritime organisms have to comply. READ MORE

23. Impact of hydropower regulation on river water geochemistry and hyporheic exchange
Abstract : Hydropower regulation of rivers exhibits a threat to the riverine ecosystems. Fragmentation of flow, landscape disturbances, and water retention are key features of regulated catchments, resulting in reduced floods and geochemical tr¬ansport, non-natural water level fluctuations, and thus disturbed exchange between the river and the aquifer.
