The deep ocean plays a significant role in storing and releasing heat, which means that it helps to moderate climatic variations.

About GEOMAR

GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel is a world-wide leading institute of marine research. We investigate chemical, physical, biological and geological processes of the seafloor, oceans and ocean margins and their interactions with the atmosphere. GEOMAR has a staff of approximately 1,000 individuals and an annual budget of ~80 Million Euros.

Our action for climate change

Ocean and climate” is one the core topics of GEOMAR. We are combining observations, experiments, theory and modelling across a broad range of disciplines and spatial and temporal scales. We deploy and improve ocean observing systems; build, innovate on and use numerical ocean, climate and Earth system models and operate and advance high-end analytical instrumentation and capabilities that allow the development and application of proxies to reconstruct past states of the ocean.
