Andreas Oschlies studied Physics in Heidelberg (Germany) and Cambrige (UK) and did his PhD at Kiel University. His Postdoc time he spent at LEGOS/CNRS and in Kiel. After a professorship at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, UK, he returned in 2006 to Kiel on a full professorship on “Marine Biogeochemical Modelling” at GEOMAR.
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.
