This is Ocean Voices - The Voice of Early Career Researchers in Marine Sciences More info
What is success? If you are better than others? If you do something that was expected of you? If you reach a goal you have worked hard for? If something works out, just as planned? If you are proud? If you had the chance to evolve and learn something new? I think, success, in the […]
EGU General Assembly In the beginning of springtime in Vienna, Austria, as every year, thousands of geoscientists met for the EGU General Assembly 2025. And thanks to FYORD, I, Lenya Baumann, got the opportunity to be part of it. Studying geophysics and working as a student assistant for the group ‘Marine Geophysics and Hydroacoustics’ at […]
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 […]
Research into light pollution in Malaysia Imagine you are walking along the promenade or through your favorite street at night. What do you see? The glow of streetlights, ship lights, illuminated shop windows. You probably see something, right? While actually, it should be dark. The issue at hand is light pollution. Artificial light at night […]
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 […]
Last month 150 years ago, on the 23rd of March 1875, the participants of the Challenger expedition plumbed out the deepest point of the Earth, which is now called the Challenger Deep in their honour. This expedition was different from previous endeavours, as scientific exploration was its primary objective, not just a useful side-quest to […]
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 […]
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 […]
I never considered myself a quitter. Usually, I finish what I have started: a 30 minutes high intensity workout after the Christmas holidays for example or the extended version of the third Lord of the Rings movie, also a bachelor program in environmental science and a master in marine science in Kiel. It’s not like […]
