Welcome to the “Ocean Voices” blog series run by doctoral and non-permanent postdoctoral researchers at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research and Christian Albrechts University in Kiel, Germany.

Thanks for dropping by!

What is Ocean Voices?

We started this blog series to give researchers at an early stage in their scientific careers a platform to directly voice their opinions and ideas. Here, we link our interests and bring visibility to our work. We, doctoral and postdoctoral researchers at CAU and GEOMAR, are linked by our research on our ocean even though we are a diverse bunch with roots from around the world. Hence the name of this blog series, “Ocean Voices”. 

On this blog, you will find people telling their personal stories, highlighting their exciting research and scientific achievements, as well as putting faces to the large, creative and productive community of early career scientists at CAU and GEOMAR.

In addition, we have a cooperation with FYORD, the joint early career researcher network of GEOMAR and CAU that hosts all Master’s and PhD students as well as PostDocs working in the marine science family. As part of this cooperation, we publish reports from FYORD Travel Grant recipients who share their experience at conferences, exchanges, summer schools and more.

Happy reading!
