Ocean Observatories

Current observational capabilities in Kiel provide a strong basis for the Cluster, one which can be matched by only a few institutes throughout the world. The platform includes classical tools (e.g. research vessels, multiple mapping and sampling …


KIMOCC

The Kiel Marine Organism Culture Centre (KIMOCC) provides advanced culturing techniques for experiment  with marine organisms like e.g. deep-sea bivalves, ctenophores, microalgae or cnidaria (pictures on the left by Hiebenthal, Jaspers, Schulz …


Research Facilities

The Information and Instrumentation Unit (IIU) is part of the Kiel Academy of Interdisciplinary Marine Sciences (KAIMS) which has been newly established as a roof for marine science and associated fields within CAU and GEOMAR. …
