    Description: A high-resolution record of late-Holocene subsurface water-mass characteristics in outer Igaliku Fjord, South Greenland, is presented based on benthic foraminifera faunas from core PO 243–451 collected from a water depth of 304 m. Strati” cation with Atlantic water masses present in the lower part of the water-column is suggested to have prevailed during the last 3200 cal. years, except for a period referred to as the‘Mediaeval Warm Period’ (MWP). During the MWP (c. ad 885–1235) the outer part of Igaliku Fjord experienced enhanced vertical mixing and a high hydrodynamic energy level which we ascribe to increasing wind stress through this period, corresponding to the period of the Norse settlement. The transition from the MWP to the‘Little Ice Age’ (LIA) shows a two-step pattern with a short climatic amelioration around AD 1520 before maximum cooling occurred. The intensified wind stress and the overall environmental change are suggested to have contributed to the loss of the Norse settlement in Greenland. Periods with strong stratification and marked in uence of Atlantic subsurface water masses around 2.6, 1.3 ka BP and during the LIA are correlated to North Atlantic Holocene ice-rafting events reported by Bond et al. (1997).

    Description: Je nach Definition beginnt die Tiefsee bei 200, 500 oder 1.000 m unter der Wasseroberfläche. Die Tiefsee ist dunkel, kalt, nährstoffarm, spärlich besiedelt und steht unter dem enormen Druck der auf ihr lastenden Wassersäule. Sämtliche Tiefseeorganismen müssen diesen z. T. lebensfeindlichen Bedingungen standhalten bzw. an diese angepasst sein. An einigen Stellen, den sogenannten Hotspots, ist die Artenvielfalt jedoch trotz dieser Extrembedingungen sehr hoch.

    Description: Lange galt das Meer als unendlicher Ressourcenraum, den wir Menschen nicht nachhaltig beeinflussen könnten. Heute wissen wir, dass auch das Meer endlich ist. Es wird diskutiert, ob der Mensch das gigantisch große „Ökosystem Meer" kollabieren lassen könnte. Gleichzeitig wird die Bedeutung der Meere für das Leben auf der Erde nicht mehr bestritten und die Relevanz der Meeresforschung für nachhaltiges gesellschaftliches, politisches und wirtschaftliches Handeln deutlich.
