The role of copepods and decapods in the Benguela Upwelling System
Planktonic crustacean such as copepods and decapods are crucial for the marine ecosystem in the Benguela Upwelling region. They are almost ubiquitous, occur in great quantities and represent an important food source for many organisms. Scientists ...

Investigations of the Carbon Budget off Namibia
Gas exchange rates between the atmosphere and the ocean are closely dependent on the regional setting. In many regions the oceans can take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere (the ocean acts as a “carbon sink”) whereas particularly upwelli...

Meso- and Macrozooplankton Dynamics in the Southwest African Upwelling Region
Zooplankton organisms are important producers and consumers of organic material in marine ecosystems.
They transfer carbon to higher trophic levels via the food chain and contribute to the transport of carbon into greater depths.
On the other hand...

Project GENUS: Geochemistry and Ecology of the Namibian Upwelling System
The Benguela upwelling system off the coast of Namibia is one of the richest marine ecosystems on earth. The cold Benguela current draws nutrient-laden seawater from the deep ocean to the surface, which in turn replenishes the fertility of the ins...
