Coastal carbon storage has received increasing attention in the framework of the debate around blue carbon and the blue economy. Coastal carbon storage and fluxes are complex in their form and variable but connected in space and time. In a range of short presentations, we would like to give an overview on work of the geosciences department in this field and initiate a wider discussion on the concepts of blue carbon and coastal carbon storage. We plan to keep the seminar interesting to a wide, multidisciplinary audience at ZMT and welcome a broad discussion afterwards.
