We study the heat flow on time-dependent metric measure spaces evolving as a super-Ricci flow in the sense of Sturm. In particular we discuss contraction estimates of the heat flow with respect to the L^p-Kantorovich distance. As an application we construct couplings of Brownian motions and obtain pathwise contraction of their trajectories.
