Marine Mineral Raw Materials
Exploratory cruise - environmental impact of a device test in the manganese nodule belt between Hawaii and Mexico in the Pacific Ocean.
Research priorities
The group focuses on the exploration of various marine mineral deposits (manganese nodules, massive sulphides, iron-manganese crusts, phosphorites) and analyses of their resource potential. Looking to the future, one research focus is the investigation of possible environmental impacts of deep-sea mining. The strategy group sees itself as an "honest broker" and sees its contribution in the unbiased dissemination of information to all stakeholders.
