The marine research of Kiel University has gone through a history of more than one hundred years, and it is still being carried out, and the main one engaged in this research is the Institute of Marine Science (IFM-GEOMAR). The Institute of Marine Science of Kiel University was established in 2004. It is a member of Leibniz Foundation and the largest comprehensive marine research institution in Europe. The institute mainly has four research fields: ocean circulation and climate dynamics, marine biogeochemistry, marine ecology and seabed dynamics.
Undergraduate major: marine science.
Postgraduate majors include: marine zoology, marine chemistry, practical oceanography, theoretical oceanography and marine microbiology.
Postgraduate degree courses include: oceanography, meteorology, biological oceanography, marine chemistry, earth science (geology, mineralogy and geophysics) and so on.
All 750 staff members of marine scientific research, 400 of whom are scientists; There are 33 professorships.
The Institute of Marine Science has four research vessels, including JAGO, ROV KIEL6000 and ABYSS, and advanced instruments and equipment.
Main research directions and characteristics: navigation and navigation safety, maritime transportation automation and computer integration technology, ship repair technology and technical equipment, society and law of international navigation, global navigation radio communication.
The marine research of Kiel University in Germany is mainly based on the Institute of Marine Science of Kiel University (IFM-GEOMAR). Since its establishment in 2004, the Institute of Marine Science of Kiel University has completed 38 project reports and published 6,345 periodical papers, conference papers and books, including more than 2,000 periodical papers and 2,700 conference papers, with an average of about 1200 articles per year. The number of articles published in different fields is as follows: ocean circulation and climate dynamics (2414); Marine biogeochemistry (1479); Marine ecology (1462); Seabed dynamics (1387).
IFM-GEOMAR is currently involved in three large-scale projects: future ocean research, research on fluids and volatile substances in subduction zones, and interaction between tropical marine climate and biogeochemistry.
In addition to the above-mentioned basic research, the institute also participated in some applied research, such as energy and carbon dioxide storage research, marine materials research and so on.
University of Bremen: Focus on engineering and natural sciences, especially industrial engineering, physics, mathematics, microbiology, computer and digital media, earth science (especially marine earth science) and law (especially European law). These majors enjoy a high reputation.
