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 – […]
Der Blogbeitrag im September ist der Praktikumsbericht von Felix über sein Schülerpraktikum am GEOMAR, mit einem kleinen Einblick von seiner Betreuerin Lea. Der Blog erscheint auf Deutsch und auf Englisch. Während meines zweiwöchigen Praktikums am GEOMAR im Juli/August 2025 erhielt ich einen umfassenden Einblick in verschiedene Bereiche der meereswissenschaftlichen Arbeit – von Laboranalytik über Probenvorbereitung […]
International Temperate Reef Symposium, France Oh boy- time to head to my first real research conference and present (for the very first time!) data from my PhD. The nerves? High. The poster? Printed (finally!) the weekend before. The train ticket? Booked. Yes, we decided to travel to Brest, Brittany in northern France by train – […]
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 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 […]
Throwback to the FYORD summer school, organized by PostDocs for Master’s and PhD students At the beginning of this year, a group of postdocs from GEOMAR and Kiel University, with the great support of FYORD and PACT, came together to brainstorm ideas for a potential summer school tailored for Masters and PhD students in marine […]
Across the animal kingdom, there is a wide array of ways in which parents care for their offspring. When we think about animals with “good parenting”, we quickly think of close-to-home examples from mammals like ourselves: species in which the female can produce milk to feed her children who stay with their mother for some […]
