Abtauchen in die Unterwasser-Welt Kiels und mit Profis die unterschiedlichsten Organismen erforschen. Das durften wir, 24 StudentInnen der CAU, Dank dem Umweltbildungsprojekt Snorkeling.City erleben. Im Rahmen einer Exkursion haben wir uns mit Herrn Dr. Henry Göhlich und seinem Team in der Strandbar am Seebad Düsternbrook getroffen. Unser Arbeitsbereich für den heutigen Tag war perfekt gewählt, […]
Exploring the underwater world of Kiel and discovering a wide variety of marine organisms – all guided by professionals. Thanks to the environmental education project Snorkeling.City, we, 24 students from Kiel University (CAU), had the opportunity to experience this first-hand. As part of an excursion, we met with the project coordinator Dr. Henry Göhlich and his […]
EGU 2025 (I) Hello, my name is Elisaveta – though I often go by Lisa – and I’m a second-year doctoral researcher at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. My research focuses on marine geophysics, particularly using ocean bottom seismometers (OBS) and 2D seismic reflection data. At EGU 2025, I presented data from the […]
Hi, Henrike here. You don’t know me? Well, we should change that. Formally, I’m a scientist, a science educator and communicator, and a project manager. Personally, I love taking my dog for walks on the beach, feeling the sun on my face and the wind in my hair. I’m creative, curious, a bit chaotic, often […]
The ICYMARE conference in Bremen Hi, my name is Josephine, I am a student in the Master’s program Biological Oceanography at Geomar Helmholtz-Center for Ocean Research. I am currently writing my Master’s thesis at the Research and Technology Center (FTZ) in Büsum, which is part of Kiel University. My research focuses on the diversity and […]
The 17th Deep-Sea Biology Symposium in Hong Kong I am Véronique Merten, a postdoc in the Deep-Sea Biology Group at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. In my research, I focus on deep-sea organisms, with a particular interest in squids (cephalopods) and whales (cetaceans). By combining environmental DNA analysis with techniques like biologging, net […]
As I mentioned in my previous post, every scientist has a different opinion on what success looks like for marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). Some believe that the risks are worth the benefit because the risks of unmitigated climate change are far higher than the risks associated with mCDR. At the other end of the […]
17th DSBS HKUST, Hong Kong I am Julian Stauffer, a third-year PhD student in the Deep-Sea Biology working group at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel, Germany. I work on benthic habitat mapping with hydroacoustic and imaging methods. My main study regions are oceanic island groups in the North-East Atlantic. I am mainly […]
I never thought I would find myself constantly making the point that the topic of my research is the ‘second most important thing’. Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) is now necessary on top of strong emissions reductions in order to reach net zero emissions and keep warming at 1.5℃ above preindustrial levels – and it is […]
The American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting (AGU24) I am Carlos Arenas, a doctoral researcher from the Marine Geodynamics department at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. I investigate the thermal structure of the Pegasus Basin, located at the southern end of the Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand. By analyzing seismic records and modelling subsurface […]
