The expansion of offshore wind energy, its consequences and ocean modeling
"In order to achieve the energy transition, the expansion of offshore wind farms is necessary. But there is rarely any talk about what this expansion means for our oceans. One thing is clear, it will not leave our seas unscathed, says Prof. Dr. Corinna Schrum, who is director of the Institute for Coastal Systems and the Institute for Coastal Dynamics at the Helmholtz Center Hereon in Geesthacht as well as a professor at the University of Hamburg and models the future of the seas.
Local wind fields will change, currents will slow down, thus the seas will be less mixed, thus more sediments will accumulate, possibly there could be an oxygen deficit in summer in some regions.
The expansion of offshore wind farms is a big challenge for her and her colleagues."

Coastal Futures: “North Sea and the world's largest wind power plant - effects and opportunities”
Prof. C. Schrum, Head of the Institute for Coastal Systems at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon in Geesthacht near Hamburg and Coordinator of the CoastalFutures project, provides insights into the massive changes that the sea and life in these areas are experiencing in the article published in Welt am Sonntag on 08.07.2023, titled "A Sea Stirred Up: According to the desires of the coastal states, the largest offshore wind farm in the world is planned in the North Sea." She discusses the effects and opportunities associated with the proposed offshore wind farm.

CoastalFutures in the media - "Impacts of Sea Level Rise" - ARTE
Prof. T. Schlurmann, Managing Director and Professor Ludwig-Franzius-Institute for Hydraulic, Estuarine and Coastal Engineering at the Leibniz Universität Hannover and WP Leader of the CoastalFutures Projects, was interviews in the context of the ARTE TV-documentary on the "Impacts of Sea Level Rise" that was broadcasted Jun 25th. He provides insight on sediment management and thus in the context of Climate Change and Sea level rise.

CoastalFutures in the media - "Seals are counted from the air" - Frankfurter Rundschau
In Lower Saxony, the seal population has been systematically recorded since 1958. "This is a unique data set," says wildlife specialist Ursula Siebert from the University of Veterinary Medicine Hanover, who incorporates these data sets and the determination of the seal population as part of the CoastalFuture project. This population could be seen as an indicator of the quality of the Wadden Sea habitat. (12.06.2023)

Prof. T. Schlurmann as a guest on VDI podcast "Technik aufs Ohr".
In issue #135 of 3/29/2013, the main topic was adaptation to climate change, in particular the consequences of sea level rise.
The contents of the discussion with Prof. T. Schlurmann and the VDI editors reflect very well the objectives of CoastalFutures as a whole.
