Welcome to the Project
Budget and States of the Backbarrier Tidal Flat Water Column
The East Frisian tidal flats are continuously influenced by open marine (from the North Sea) and on-shore processes. In this
sub-project, we want to elucidate whether the input/output of dissolved and particulate matter between the backbarrier and
offshore areas is presently in a steady state or whether the tidal flats suffer a net loss of material. We intend to study the
seasonal dynamics of seaward and landward inputs as well as their relation to the retention or mobilisation of specific
compounds.
