Abstract: The contribution of coastal waters as local sources or sinks of atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs) is imprecise. In this dissertation, two platforms with sensors were deployed in the shallow waters of the Baltic Sea (< 6 m) to record biogeochemical variables and GHGs in high temporal resolution. In addition, a rewetting of a coastal peatland was investigated, whereby the effects of rewetting with brackish water on GHG emissions are largely unknown, although a positive effect on the reduction of CH4 emissions is expected.
