Comment vivre avec des conflits d’usages au sein d’un espace naturel protégé exposé à des risques littoraux ? by Caroline Rufin-Soler, Marie-Hélène Ruz, Philippe Deboudt, Rachel Révillon

“…This article proposes an analysis of the production of land-use conflicts between interested party in the management of a coastal area exposed to coastal risks along the North Sea coast, in the Hauts de France Region. The Platier d'Oye, a reclaimed coastal area at the beginning of the 20th century, is the object of successive logics of appropriation and of coastal dynamics which have contributed to the development of conflicts between the stakeholders. …”

Le Roman de Perceforest, la Sicambre et la guerre de Cent Ans by Levente Selaf

“…This explains the confused location of this country: in part symbolic (by its identification with Nubia), in part traditional (close to the Danube) and in part functional, to suit the rather limited geographical setting of the novel (close to the "North Sea"). By interpreting this motif we can also confirm the date of the novel from the first half of the 14th century (by pushing the date ante quem until 1350).…”

First record of the common sun star Crossaster papposus (L., 1767) in the Baltic Sea in over 100 years by Romoth Katharina, Gogina Mayya, Beisiegel Kolja, Darr Alexander, Zettler Michael Lothar

“…Possible explanations for such rare records of the occurrence of this presumably native species in the study region are briefly discussed, including uncommon survival due to salinity conditions caused by prior inflows of saline water from the North Sea.…”

Amiens/Samarobriva, cité des Ambiens : aux origines de la ville romaine by Didier Bayard

“…The first is related to its origins: despite the mention of its Celtic-sounding name in the De Bello Gallico or Cicero’s correspondence, no tangible link could be established between the Roman city and a previous Gallic town, or even a Caesarian camp.The building of the North Sea road, maybe during Agrippa’s second rule in Gaul between -19 and -16, seems to be at the root of a settlement at the edge of the Somme river. …”

Effects of zooplankton abundance on the spawning phenology of winter-spawning Downs herring (Clupea harengus). by Paul Marchal, Carolina Giraldo, David Johns, Sébastien Lefebvre, Christophe Loots, Lola Toomey

“…We have investigated phenological shifts in autumn- and winter-spawning Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in the Eastern English Channel and the Southern North Sea (Downs component), in relation to temperature and the availability of potential zooplanktonic prey (Calanus finmarchicus, Calanus helgolandicus, Temora longicornis). …”

Analysing the Effects of Atmospheric Teleconnections on Streamflow Regime in the Eastern Black Sea Basin in Türkiye by Cenk Sezen

“…In this study, the relationship between the streamflow data belonging to five discharge gauging stations in the Eastern Black Sea Basin in Türkiye and the Arctic Oscillation (AO), East Atlantic-Western Russia (EAWR), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and North Sea Caspian Pattern (NCP) was investigated. For this purpose, Spearman’s correlation test, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and relative importance analysis were used. …”

Tides of Time: The Dutch Delta Works as Time-Mediating Climate Adaptation Infrastructure by Huub Dijstelbloem, Victor Toom, Annick de Vries

“…By examining the development of the Dutch Delta Works, a set of infrastructures initiated after the 1953 North Sea floods that killed more than 1,800 people, the article reconceptualizes the development from the response to the 1953 disaster to its current relationship with the consequences of climate change, in particular rising sea levels, river water inflows and weather fluctuations such as increased rainfall. …”

Revisiting shallow glauconite factories: intertwined fates of glauconite and iron by Tribovillard, Nicolas

“…These situations are well illustrated by the Jurassic and Cretaceous deposits of the Boulonnais coast (Pas de Calais Strait, between the English Channel and the North Sea). In particular, certain sedimentary deposits show that glauconite could have grown during very early diagenesis. …”

The effect of site exposure index on the required capacities of aquaculture structures by Tobias Dewhurst, Samuel Rickerich, Michael MacNicoll, Nathaniel Baker, Zachary Moscicki

“…The research builds upon exposure indices proposed previously, and uses Hydro-/Structural Dynamic Finite Element Analysis (HS-DFEA) to quantify the required structural capacities for cultivation structures as a function of exposure index based on representative sites in the German Bight of the North Sea. The selection of 36 sites in this region was based on extreme hydrodynamic and mean bathymetric conditions, utilizing a k-means clustering approach to identify a collection of sites within a broad range of environmental conditions. …”

Behaviour of Tritium and Tritiogenic Helium in Freshwater Lens Groundwater Systems: Insights from Langeoog Island, Germany by Vincent E. A. Post, Georg J. Houben, Leonard Stoeckl, Jürgen Sültenfuß

“…The models are based on the conditions on the German island of Langeoog, which is uniquely suited for this purpose because of the high 3H concentration of the North Sea. It is found that most bomb-related tritiogenic 3He still resides in the freshwater lens, making it a useful tracer for young (<60 years) groundwater. …”

HOLSEA-NL: a Holocene water level and sea level indicator dataset for the Netherlands by K. de Wit, K. M. Cohen, R. S. W. van de Wal, R. S. W. van de Wal

“…In the Netherlands, Holocene RSLR results from both regional sea level rise and regional subsidence patterns, mainly caused by glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA: Scandinavian forebulge collapse) and longer-term North Sea Basin tectono-sedimentary subsidence. Past coastal and inland water levels are preserved in geological indicators marking the gradual drowning of an area, for example, basal peats. …”
