Lakes with increased water colour levels have been observed in many locations in the northern hemisphere, a phenomenon that is called brownification. The driving components of brownification are dissolved organic matter (DOM) and iron, which are affected by rainfall patterns as a large fraction originates from terrestrial sources. Brownification has many detrimental effects for the ecosystem, amon

Rapid coastal urbanization and declining marine biodiversity rates are complex problems that require broad, integrated sets of solutions. Although isolating nature from human impact prevails as the standard conservation approach, social-ecological systems require more holistic solutions. Coastal cities have the opportunity to encourage human interaction with nature – while still achieving positive

However, the cost of burnout to private organisations is high, since it correlates with lower productivity and increased turnover/turnover intention amongst others (Maslach, Schaufeli, & Leiter, 2001). Project managers are at a particularly high risk of burnout due
