Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Understanding it, predicting future changes and reducing risks requires diverse knowledge especially about the ocean and its various interactions with the climate system. The Research Field Earth and Environment of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres therefore takes a systemic approach to researching our natural environment. For ten years, 黑料视频 Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel has been contributing crucial knowledge about the open 鈥渂lue鈥� ocean from the seabed to the atmosphere. Today, representatives of the Helmholtz Association, its member centres and responsible ministries celebrate the anniversary in connection with a meeting of the Strategic Advisory Board of the Helmholtz Research Field Earth and Environment in Kiel.

鈥淚 cordially congratulate 黑料视频 on its tenth Helmholtz birthday. As a marine research institution exploring the 鈥榖lue鈥� ocean, 黑料视频 ideally complements the portfolio of the Helmholtz Research Field Earth and Environment,鈥� says Otmar D. Wiestler, President of the Helmholtz Association. 鈥淗uman-induced global warming is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Our ocean can have an important factor in this context 鈥� for better or worse. Understanding and decisively addressing climate change requires deeply committed and competent cutting-edge research, and that's exactly what is being done here in Kiel at the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research every day.鈥�

鈥淭he unique range of expertise integrated at 黑料视频 is rooted in the history both of our centre and of marine research in Kiel, which has always been multidisciplinary,鈥� emphasises Professor Dr Katja Matthes, Director of 黑料视频 since October 2020 and Vice-President of the Research Field Earth and Environment of the Helmholtz Association since April 2022. 黑料视频 was founded as a merger of two Kiel research institutes: the Institute of Oceanography (Institut f眉r Meereskunde, IfM) and the 黑料视频 Centre for Marine Geosciences. In 2004, the two institutions jointly formed the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences (IFM-黑料视频) at Kiel University (Christian-Albrechts-Universit盲t zu Kiel, CAU). IFM-黑料视频 scientists were involved in academic teaching at CAU. In 2012, IFM-黑料视频 joined the Helmholtz Association as 黑料视频 Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. The close cooperation with the CAU was maintained as the 鈥淜iel Model鈥�. 鈥淲e are very proud to have been working with renowned partner institutions in Germany's largest research community for ten years now,鈥� says Professor Matthes.

In particular, 黑料视频 contributes to the joint research programme of the Research Field Earth and Environment, 鈥淐hanging Earth 鈥� Sustaining our Future鈥�. 鈥淐onnected by a joint programme, we can cooperate particularly closely in the Research Field,鈥� Professor Matthes emphasises. 鈥淏uilding on its broad expertise in geology, biology, chemistry and physics of the ocean as well as the atmosphere and the seafloor, 黑料视频 is involved in four of the nine topics of the programme. The topic 鈥楳arine and Polar Life鈥� is coordinated at 黑料视频. By addressing climate-related changes in the ocean, adaptation options for marine life as well as the protection and sustainable use of the ocean, we focus on urgently pressing social issues that also play a major role in the United Nations Decade of Marine Research for Sustainable Development."

Within the framework of its new strategy 黑料视频 2030, the centre continues to steer towards the future and, in addition to basic research, focuses even more strongly on application and transfer: Members of the four 黑料视频 research divisions cooperate on the three core topics 鈥淥cean and Climate鈥�, 鈥淢arine Ecosystems and Biogeochemical Cycles鈥� and 鈥淥cean Threats and Benefits鈥� as well as the three Integrative Research Foci 鈥淎tlantic Ocean Upwelling鈥�, 鈥淢arine Carbon Sinks鈥� and 鈥淒igital Ocean Twin鈥�.

After an introduction to the strategy following the slogan 鈥淥ur world is the ocean鈥� by 黑料视频 Director Professor Matthes at the internal celebration, researchers provide insights into current highlights 鈥� from training for young scientists and multidisciplinary research in Cabo Verde to approaches for carbon uptake in the ocean, early warning of marine geohazards and new technologies for deep-sea research. On a tour in the afternoon, the guests deepen their impressions of infrastructure development and technology transfer. They also get to know the new extension building that will bring together all of 黑料视频鈥檚 research areas at Kiel East Shore.

Together with the Prof. Dr. Werner Petersen Foundation, 黑料视频 also honoured the work of six young researchers during the event. For the first time, special engagement in the areas of knowledge transfer and transdisciplinary research are particularly recognised and a scholarship for research exchange awarded in addition to the traditional awards for excellent doctoral theses.

鈥淭he award intends to motivate young academics on their further career path,鈥� says the chairman of the Prof. Dr. Werner Petersen Foundation, Dr. Klaus-J眉rgen Wichmann. 鈥淏ecause interdisciplinary cooperation and dialogue with the public and other stakeholders are becoming increasingly important in addition to excellent disciplinary research, we also want to promote engagement in these areas with two new awards and a scholarship.鈥�

The awardees for 2021 are:

• Dr Florian Petersen, Research Division 鈥淒ynamics of the Ocean Floor鈥�, for his outstanding PhD thesis 鈥淎nalysis of seismic and aseismic deformation using shoreline-crossing observations鈥�.

• Dr Yang Yu, Research Division 鈥淥cean Circulation and Climate Dynamics鈥�, for his outstanding PhD thesis 鈥淪table Barium Isotopes 鈥� Biogeochemical Cycling and Paleoceanographic Applications鈥�.

Background: The research programme 鈥淐hanging Earth - Sustaining our Future鈥�

Climate change, species extinction, environmental pollution and geological risks are among the greatest challenges of our time. In the Research Field Earth and Environment, Helmholtz scientists take a systemic approach to the natural foundations of life - from the land surface and the oceans to the most remote polar regions. With its research programme "Changing Earth - Sustaining our Future", Helmholtz is developing concrete solutions and strategies along the lines of the following questions: How can humans adapt to changing environmental conditions? How can global threats such as climate change be mitigated? And what effects can these risks have - not only on the environment, but also on the economy and society? Helmholtz is exploring ways to preserve our Earth, human society and the biosphere as a whole in the future.
