Autor: Daniel Greiner As a geography student at Kiel University, my academic focus is not only connected to human-environment relations and spatial planning, but also to physical geographical processes and the functioning of natural systems. In addition, my minor in sociology has influenced how I think about environmental problems and public perception. The lecture “Infrastruktur […]
Die folgenden Blogbeiträge wurden von Studierenden zum Vortrag „Infrastruktur im Meer: Ökologische Konsequenzen von Lärmbelastung“ von Dr. Katja Heubel im Rahmen der Ringvorlesung „Verantwortung für das Erbe Meer“ verfasst. Dr. Katja Heubel ist Leiterin der Coastal Ecology Group des FTZ-Büsums und Koordinatorin der interdisciplinary Master School of Marine Science. Zu ihren Forschungsgebieten zählen unter anderem die Auswirkungen […]
In 2021, a group of doctoral researchers at GEOMAR was considering the idea of creating a blog for young marine scientists to share their research and experiences with a wider audience. I joined them in early 2022, when it had progressed from an idea to a project and a lot of decisions had to be […]
As a marine scientist working in the Baltic Sea area, summers are usually reserved for fieldwork: excursions to cliffs and beaches, research cruises with FK Littorina, and diving campaigns. Winters, on the other hand, are meant for processing and analysing the huge amounts of data collected during summer and for preparing the next field season. […]
In November, I was walking through the the city while the Christmas market was being prepared. Huts were being built, woodchips brought in and Christmas trees arranged. Lots of trees! Like, seriously, a rediculous amount! And then I saw how all those trees were fixed, so they wouldn’t fall over. They each stood in a […]
SEB Conference 2025, Antwerp My name is Christine Blurton, and I’m a PhD researcher at the Institute of Zoology at Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Germany. I am working in the field of Marine Biology, focusing on how climate-related stressors affect the early developmental stages of marine invertebrates. In my research, I focus on the combined effects […]
Visiting a scientific conference for the first time as a young researcher is a big deal, don’t you think? So much expertise gathered in one place, so many talks and topics ahead — exciting, yes, but also a bit intimidating. At least, that’s how I felt when I drove nine hours in my car to […]
From DAAD Summer School to Doctorate: Reflections at ICON 9 Hi! I am Riel Carlo O. Ingeniero from the Chemical Oceanography Department at GEOMAR. I recently had the opportunity to attend ICON 9 (International Conference on Nitrification and Related Processes) last July 2025, one of the leading conferences focused on advances in the nitrogen cycle. […]
Delivering Five years into my PhD and I still wasn’t done. To be fair, I hadn’t exactly had an easy ride, starting just weeks before COVID lockdowns were announced, becoming a mother in my second year, and trying to build a new model system from scratch (Pipefish and their male pregnancy are adorable, but they […]
The September blogpost is the internship report from Felix about his student internship at GEOMAR, with a brief insight into Lea’s perspective, who supervised the internship. The blog is published in German anf English. During my two-week internship at GEOMAR in July/August 2025, I gained comprehensive insight into various areas of marine science work – […]
