Generally, photochemical and microbial alteration of organic material takes place in complex and interconnected processes. The study of such processes at interfaces requires further expertise taking into account interface-specific processes. This includes expertise and technology for the collection of the thin surface microlayer (SML) and measurements of exchange processes between the ocean and the atmosphere, quantification of interfacial processes, as well as dynamics between the SML and bulk water below the millimeter scale.
Overall, BASS (https://uol.de/en/bass) includes chemical, biological, and physical science with specialized fields in oceanography and interface science. It includes diverse expertise to be shared leading to multipile interaction and collaboration among the eight subprojects.
