    Description: Detecting changes of sediment boundaries on the seafloor is important for a better understanding of sediment dynamics and related impacts to benthic habitats. Side-scan sonars (SSS) perform more cost-effectively in shallow waters than other acoustic systems because of their larger swath widths, and the resolution of its images does not change with varying water depth. However, as they are generally towed behind the survey vessel, they tend to have lower positioning accuracy, which makes them unreliable for change detection analyses. In this study, we present a workflow that processes SSS data in a way that makes them fit for change detection analyses. To test the capacity of SSS mosaics for change detection, we used a free software called “Digital Shoreline Analysis System”, which was developed by the United States Geological Survey for ArcGIS version 10.4 onwards. The methods were applied in three areas in the Sylt Outer Reef, German Bight, North Sea. Our results showed that with appropriate processing, SSS mosaics could be used for change detection of sharp sediment boundaries. We found a common trend in the sediment distribution patterns of coarse sediments by monitoring the movement of their boundaries. The boundaries moved in northeast-southwest direction and boundary movements of less than 20 m were typically observed. The methods presented here are semi-automated, repeatable, and replicable, which has potential for wide-scale monitoring of sediment distribution patterns.

    Description: The ongoing environmental changes in the Southern Ocean may cause a dramatic decrease in habitat quality. Due to its central position in the food web, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a key species of the marine Antarctic ecosystem. It is therefore crucial to understand how increasing water temperatures affect important krill life-cycle processes. Here, a long-term (August – March) laboratory acclimation experiment at different temperature scenarios (0.5 ◦C, 1.5 ◦C, 2.5 ◦C, 3.5 ◦C, 5 ◦C, 7 ◦C) was performed and the effects of elevated temperatures on whole animal parameters (O2 consumption, body length, length of the digestive gland) were analyzed. The response of krill oxygen consumption to different experimental temperatures differed between acute/short-term and long-term acclimation. After 8 months, krill oxygen consumption remained unchanged up to temperatures of 3.5 ◦C and was significantly higher at temperatures 〉 3.5 ◦C. Krill acclimated to temperatures ≥ 3.5 ◦C were significantly smaller at the end of the experiment. Limited food intake and/or conversion may have contributed to this effect, especially pronounced after the onset of the reproductive period. In addition, the seasonal growth pattern in males differed from that of females. Together, our findings indicate that warming Southern Ocean waters are likely to increase metabolic rate in krill, possibly altering the amount of energy available for other important life-cycle processes, a finding directly related to future population dynamics and fisheries management.

    Description: The Ocean Floor Observation and Bathymetry System (OFOBS) is an underwater survey plat-form, which is designed and developed for research in the Polar Regions by the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI). The tailored deep tow system brought a new perspective and clarity from Arctic Ocean by its optical and acoustic sensors. During the PS101 expedition at the Karasik seamount, OFOBS provides a novel picture of megafauna’s habitats. In this study, we develop a methodology to convert the imagery dataset to micro-bathymetry in order to provide primary data for object detection and habitat mapping which will provide a better understanding of arctic benthic habitats. The methodology is based on the underwater photogrammetry workflow and two different point cloud classification methods adopted for sponge detec-tion in 3D point clouds, to facilitate habitat mapping with a focus on the central of Kara

    Description: Die Grenzen des Verkehrswachstums sind erreicht. Klimaschutz und Lebensqualität sind wichtiger als hochgerüstete Autoflotten, die für Millionen Menschen ohne Auto Belastungen und Mobilitätsnachteile bedeuten. Notwendig ist eine radikale sozial-ökologische Transformation des Verkehrssystems: Ausbau und Förderung des Umweltverbundes aus ÖPNV, Schiene, Sharing-Systemen, Rad- und Fußverkehr - das sind bekannte Strategieelemente, die aber durch die herrschende Privilegierung des Autos ausgebremst werden. Dabei hat das Leitbild der autogerechten Stadt längst ausgedient. Entfesselte Automobilität frisst immer mehr Natur und Lebensqualität. Ziel muss es sein, nachhaltige Mobilität zu sichern, Verkehrsgerechtigkeit zu schaffen und die Hälfte der Autoflotte überflüssig zu machen. Und die Zukunft ist bereits unterwegs. Längst planen viele Städte eine menschengerechtere Mobilität: in Paris, Kopenhagen, Freiburg und anderswo. Unterstützt durch eine engagiertere Verkehrspolitik von Bund und EU, kann aus der kommunalen Verkehrsbewegung eine nachhaltige Mobilität für alle in Stadt und Land werden. Neue grüne Geschäftsfelder und gute Arbeit für moderne Mobilitätsdienstleistungen sind dabei Kernelemente. Mit den riesigen Maßnahmenprogrammen wegen der Corona-Pandemie und für den Klimaschutz kann ein gestaltender Staat die Chancen der Verkehrswende erschließen. Für dieses Gemeinschaftswerk können Wählermehrheiten gewonnen werden.

    Description: Nie gab es mehr zu tun. Unsere Wirtschaft braucht nicht nur technische, sondern auch soziale und kulturelle Innovationen. Etablierte Wirtschaftsförderung beschränkt sich meist auf klassische gewerbliche Unternehmen und strebt nach Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Wachstum. Das Konzept der Wirtschaftsförderung 4.0 geht darüber hinaus und betrachtet die gesamte Wirtschaft einer Stadt oder Region. Es ergänzt die klassischen Strategien und zielt darauf ab, lokale und regionale Wirtschaftsstrukturen zu stärken. Auch private und öffentliche Haushalte, Vereine und soziale Initiativen werden dabei berücksichtigt. Wirtschaftsförderung 4.0 initiiert so neue Wertschöpfung vor Ort, eröffnet lokale Investitionsmöglichkeiten, bindet regionale Kaufkraft, entfaltet neue Wirtschaftsideen, fördert Kooperationen und stärkt lokale Vielfalt. Zudem fördert sie Ressourcengerechtigkeit und Klimaschutz. Das Buch stellt diese innovative Wirtschaftsförderung vor, die die regionale und lokale Wirtschaft stabilisiert und Regionen dadurch widerstandsfähiger gegen globale Krisen macht.
