MARUM – The ocean in depth!

Research

MARUM research focusses on the role of the ocean in the climate system, interactions between geosphere and biosphere, and dynamics of the ocean floor.
Infrastructure

MARUM operates and develops-cutting edge underwater technologies, archives for seafloors samples, the data center PANGAEA, and laboratories.
Early Career

Training of early career scientists is a major goal of MARUM. We provide training and services for our students from the PhD to the Postdoc level.
Discover

Exhibitions and videos, books and brochures, a school lab, press releases and social media inform the public about MARUM`s research activities.

These spore-forming bacteria grew from samples collected from more than 100 meters beneath the seafloor off Peru’s coast (Ocean Drilling Program Leg 201 Site 1227, Hole A 12H-3, 102.4 mbsf). The vegetative cells glow blue due to a florescent dye, while the endospores appear as bright round balls. Credit: Fumio Inagaki, JAMSTEC
