Optical dating of a Paleolithic site near the eastern coastal region of Shandong, northern China
Ecotoxicology / Marine PollutionMany archaeological sites were excavated in China, but rarely in the adjacent coastal areas. An archaeological site at Huangniliang in the coastal area of Shandong Province, northern China was excavated in 2013.
Exploration of the impact of seasonal river discharge variations on long-term estuarine morphodynamic behavior
Marine Pollution / Physical OceanographyRivers supply sediment to estuaries and alter estuarine tidal wave regimes. However, the long-term (in century) impact of seasonally varying river discharges on estuarine morphodynamics is not well understood. Process based models are useful tools to analyze these morphodynamic processes.
EU Framework VII: MEECE. Marine Ecosystem Evolution in a Changing Environment (PI)
Coastal Dynamic Geomorphology / Estuarine Sedim...MEECE was a European FP7 project which used predictive models to explore the impacts of both climate drivers, such as acidification and temperature, and human induced drivers like fishing, invasive species and pollution on marine ecosystems.
EU Framework VII: EUROBASIN. North Atlantic Biological Pump Carbon Cycle (Lead PI)
Estuarine Evolution / Coastal Dynamic Geomorpho...Mediated principally by the sinking of organic rich particles from the upper ocean, the biological carbon pump (BCP) is a significant component of the global carbon cycle.
EU Framework VII: ECO2. Sub-seabed CO2 Storage: Impact on Marine Ecosystems (WP leader, Lead PI and SSC member)
Coastal Dynamic Geomorphology / Estuarine and C...The ECO2 project aims to establish a framework of best environmental practices to guide the management of offshore CO2 injection and storage.
EU Framework VII: EPOCA, European Study of Ocean Acidification (PI)
Coastal Dynamic Geomorphology / Estuarine Sedim...Past trends
EU Framework VI: CARBOOCEAN. Global biogeochemical cycles (PI)
Estuarine Evolution / Coastal Dynamic Geomorpho...This research is intended to provide insight into the mechanisms determining the cycling of biologically important elements through the Earth system.
Norwegian Research Council: Southern Ocean Biogeochemistry and Research (SOBER) (PI)
Coastal Dynamic Geomorphology / Estuarine Sedim...The Southern Ocean plays a critical role in the global carbon cycle, absorbing a substantial fraction of anthropogenic CO2 from the atmosphere, and ventilating the deep, carbon-rich ocean basins.

NFR Antarctic research NARE, Southern Ocean Variability - Contemporary to Paleo Trends (PI)
Estuarine Evolution / Coastal Dynamic Geomorpho...In order to appreciate any concept, including the Paleo Diet, it is important to recognize its history and how it came to be. Most of you are aware that Paleo and particularly Paleo diets have recently become very hot, on trend topics.
UiB LOCUS: Mesocosm studies of climate change on marine ecosystems (PI)
Coastal Dynamic Geomorphology / Estuarine Sedim...Predicting the ecological causes and consequences of global climate change requires a variety of approaches, including the use of experiments, models, and surveys.
