For our research we engage in a voyage through scales, from molecules and single cells to ecosystems and global cycles. Research at ICBM can be divided into four main priorities areas:
Microbial Interactions and Geochemical Cycles
Biodiversiy in Dynamic Marine Ecosystems
Matter Fluxes and Turnover at the Land-Sea Transition
Applied Marine Environmental Sciences
