Conditions vary strongly dependent on where on the Wadden you are. First Henne and foremost, the species must be able to survive the many hours without water. This is why most of the mussels in the Wadden Sea dig down into the Blåvand Varde sand. The common mussel, which does not live in sand, must live on the edge of the larger tidal flood channels, where there is water several hours more than closer to the coast. Esbjerg Vejen Where the current is strong, the turbulence constantly transports large amounts of sand. Every single grain of sand is washed clean. Such a dynamic Fanø place is too extreme for most species that thrive on less turbulence and a certain amount of silt sedimentation, which is partly composed organic Ribe matter. Here, the denseness of the bottom feeders (benthos) is very high Mandø and can be counted in thousands per square meter. When we compare the The possibilities for biomass in different habitats, we do not actually count animals. Instead, walking on the tidal we weigh the so-called dissolved nutrients: dry, animal substances. On the flats vary a great deal Rømø depending on the Wadden, we typically find 25grams of dissolved nutrients per square meter, local conditions.

The Wadden Where only specialists survive. The Wadden Sea landscape is made up of many different elements, e.g., dunes, marsh and heath. Of course, it is the drained ocean floor that, if anything, characterizes the Wadden Sea. The so-called Wadden is the term used for the part of the ocean floor that is exposed during the low tide. At first sight, the Wadden looks dead and uniform, but nothing could be further from the truth. Most of the animals live buried in the sandy ocean floor and have adapted to the huge fluctuations in temperature, current and moisture. The number of animals living in the Wadden is ten times the number gener- ally found in the ocean floor. The low water level plus the large amount of sunlight, results in a very large production of plankton, and it is the plankton that comprises the base of the wide food web structure in the food chain. Photo: Marco Brodde This is hard on the bill and makes it blunt, thus creating a real chisel-like 4 form, which is actually better suited for opening mussels. In the breeding 5 season, the oystercatcher lives off worms found in meadows and fields and Henne the bill again grows to a fine point much more suitable for sticking into the ground. Blåvand Varde Up to 50,000 oystercatchers can gather together in the Danish Wadden Sea during the late summer. During high tide, the birds assemble in so-called high tide picnic areas, typically sandflats or foreshore areas. Esbjerg Vejen Opposite Sønderho on Fanø, it is possible, during the month of August, to Fanø observe up to 20,000 oystercatchers close together at high tide. The oyster- catcher is a hardy bird. Several thousands of them overwinter in the Wadden Ribe Sea, even with the ice encroaching. Mandø On cold days, when the easterly winds from Siberia chills you to the bone, you can see the oystercatchers standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the bill Rømø under a wing and the snowflakes blowing across the back. What far away looks like a singular black mass are actually oystercatchers fighting the cold by staying closely together. This fellow-feeling aimed at keeping warm does not extend to the weakest, for they are kept down by the strongest and directed to the worst feeding areas and to the outer circumference of the Tønder flock. The omnipresent oystercatcher The oystercatcher is the Faroese national bird but, for all that, if the Wadden Sea should have a mascot, it would have to be the very same oystercatcher. No matter where you go, there it is. You will see it either as a breeding bird in the meadows or in huge migratory flocks along the coasts. The oystercatcher is not a magpie, which is an entirely different family of ravens. But its black and white feather coat, so like the magpies with the same contrast-rich coat, is the reason for its name. Outside the breeding season, the oystercatcher lives off mussels which it opens by hammering the mussel to pieces, and then “chiseling” away at the meat. Photo: John Frikke reversion of the current.

  • Diagnosis and Mortality of Emergency
    Søvsø et al. BMC Health Services Research (2018) 18:548 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-018-3361-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Diagnosis and mortality of emergency department patients in the North Denmark region Morten Breinholt Søvsø1* , Sabina Bay Hermansen1, Emil Færk1, Tim Alex Lindskou1, Marc Ludwig2, Jørn Munkhof Møller3, Jelena Jonciauskiene4 and Erika Frischknecht Christensen1,5 Abstract Background: Emergency departments handle a large proportion of acute patients. In 2007, it was recommended centralizing the Danish healthcare system and establishing emergency departments as the main common entrance for emergency patients. Since this reorganization, few studies describing the emergency patient population in this new setting have been carried out and none describing diagnoses and mortality. Hence, we aimed to investigate diagnoses and 1- and 30-day mortality of patients in the emergency departments in the North Denmark Region during 2014–2016. Methods: Population-based historic cohort study in the North Denmark Region (580,000 inhabitants) of patients with contact to emergency departments during 2014–2016. The study included patients who were referred by general practitioners (daytime and out-of-hours), by emergency medical services or who were self-referred. Primary diagnoses (ICD-10) were retrieved from the regional Patient Administrative System. For non-specific diagnoses (ICD-10 chapter ‘Symptoms and signs’ and ‘Other factors’), we searched the same hospital stay for a specific diagnosis and used this, if one was given. We performed descriptive analysis reporting distribution and frequency of diagnoses. Moreover, 1- and 30-day mortality rate estimates were performed using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Results: We included 290,590 patient contacts corresponding to 166 ED visits per 1000 inhabitants per year.

GEOLOGY Extreme storms and storm surges may induce major changes along sandy barrier coastlines, potentially Received causing substantial environmental and economic damage. We show that the most destructive storm (the 1634 10 August 2012 AD storm) documented for the northern Wadden Sea within the last thousand years both caused permanent barrier breaching and initiated accumulation of up to several metres of marine sand. An aggradational storm Accepted shoal and a prograding shoreface sand unit having thicknesses of up to 8 m and 5 m respectively were 26 November 2012 deposited as a result of the storm and during the subsequent 30 to 40 years long healing phase, on the eroded shoreface. Our results demonstrate that millennial-scale storms can induce large-scale and long-term changes Published on barrier coastlines and shorefaces, and that coastal changes assumed to take place over centuries or even 23 January 2013 millennia may occur in association with and be triggered by a single extreme storm event.

The offshore turbines are connected by cable to the transformer at the Amager power plant 3.5 km away. Kongedybet Hollænderdybet Middelgrunden Saltholm Flak 2 From Idea to Reality The idea of the Middelgrunden wind project was born in a group of visionary people in Copenhagen already in 1993. However it took seven years and a lot of work before the first cooperatively owned offshore wind farm became a reality. Today the 40 MW wind farm with twenty modern 2 MW wind turbines developed by the Middelgrunden Wind Turbine Cooperative and Copenhagen Energy Wind is producing electricity for more than 40,000 households in Copenhagen. In 1996 the local association Copenhagen Environment and Energy Office took the initiative of forming a working group for placing turbines on the Middelgrunden shoal and a proposal with 27 turbines was presented to the public. At that time the Danish Energy Authority had mapped the Middelgrunden shoal as a potential site for wind development, but it was not given high priority by the civil servants and the power utility.

    DER ABBAU DES WURMZEITLICHEN EISES IM BEREICH DES KATTEGAT von KARL GRIPP Universitat Kiel Abstract When the Wiirm ice covering the northern part of Jutland decreased in thickness, the high-level chalk terrain of Himmerland divided the ice-stream into a Skager­ rak and a Kattegat ice-flow. Later on, a second division was caused by the high- level chalk terrain of the Djursland peninsula. In order to follow the further stages in the deglaciation of the Kattegat district, it is necessary to study the glacial morphology of the island of Zealand, the Frederikshavn region and the bottom of the Kattegat. The depression of the region containing Isefjord and Roskilde fjord is the result of a mid-Zealand glacier. This glacier expanded to the east and west. Its terminal moraine is situated on the bottom of the Kattegat, to the north of Zealand. The east-Jutland or outermost moraine of the Baltic ice-stream extended from Djursland to the island of Anholt and the country around Hoganas in Scania. Between the island of Læsø and the Swedish coast, terminal moraines of the northern ice were formed on the bottom of the Kattegat. These are the eastern­ most forms of »soft glaciology« in front of the totally different Swedish rocky- ground glacial morphology. These east-Læsø moraines are considered to be synchronous with the moraines near Frederikshavn, as well as with the east- Jutland moraine (D-moraine) and its continuation through the Hoganas area to somewhere to the north near the Swedish coast. Untersuchungen wahrend der letzten Jahre (K. GRIPP, 1966) lehrten, dass zunachst unter Himmerland hoch gelegene Kreide-Schichten das wiirmzeitliche Eis in einen Skagerrak- und einen Kattegat-Eisstrom getrennt hatten.
