Bridging the gap: disclosure, understanding and exploitation of the genotype-phenotype map

Genetics is defined as the science of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms. To really understand the variation of organisms as a function of genes and environment in a mechanistic sense is a tremendous challenge. But this is where we have to go if we aim for a future genetics theory t...

Glacial Ocean Mixing: Investigating the role of diapycnal ocean mixing for glacial climate stability and sensitivity

Diapycnal mixing is a source of potential energy in the ocean and is therefore believed to limit the rate of overturning on centennial and longer timescales. For the present-day ocean, winds and dissipation of tidal energy drive the diapycnal mixing with approximately similar contributions. Both ...
