"Future of the Gulf Stream circulation" - facts and background information

Publication of the Strategy group "Ocean in the Climate System"

This brochure provides a clearly understandable overview of current scientific knowledge about the Gulf Stream circulation: researchers classify confusing and often contradictory information that is discussed by the general public. It thus constitutes an orientation of plausible future scenarios and relevant research questions.

KDM Brochure "German Marine Research - Our Seas and Oceans"

This brochure presents German Marine Research Consortium (KDM) and its member institutions.

A summary of objectives and perspectives is given for KDM as the umbrella organisation of all major German marine research institutions, speaking with one voice by KDM. The broad scientific scope of German marine research and its great expertise in complementary research fields is documented by presesentations of the 16 member institutions.

 

Brochure on Ocean Observatories

Ocean observatories for earth system sciences in the key region Atlantic-Arctic Ocean

This brochure offers a vision for an integrated network of ocean observatories in the North Atlantic/Arctic Ocean region. There is an enormous need by society for ocean  observation in this rapidly changing key region of the Earth system, with consequences for our climate, for the coastal regions and for the sustainable use and protection of marine ecosystems. With this initiative, the German marine research community aims to contribute knowledge and infrastructure for a better understanding of change in the polar region, and for a better planning of societal response.

It is a main goal of the German Marine Research Consortium to realize this vision within this decade, in close cooperation with our European partners and other international collaborators..

Brochure on Coastal Research

Change in Coastal Seas

Coasts are exceptionally dynamic areas. They are subject to highly fluctuating, sometimes extreme influences from sea, land and atmosphere. Against the backdrop of global change, coastal research needs to identify factors controlling coastal processes at an early stage, and needs to determine which countermeasures are both necessary and feasible. The brochure "Küstenmeere im Wandel" (Change in Coastal Seas), put together by the German Marine Research Consortium, outlines development trends at the German coast and defines areas requiring further research.
