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 – from molecules and cells to global processes
Biodiversity in dynamic marine ecosystems – weaving the tapestry of drivers and interactions
The land-sea interface – matter fluxes and turnover
at the land-sea transition
Ocean health and sustainability – responding to the challenges of the Anthropocene

Amidst the waves and wind turbines
How do offshore wind farms affect ocean currents and ecosystems? A team led by Thomas Badewien recently investigated this north of Heligoland.
