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.

Team investigates dynamics of volcanic flank collapses

An international team of researchers is currently investigating collapse events and their tsunami potential off the coast of the Caribbean island of Montserrat.

MARUM-QUEST in the Southern Ocean

During R/V POLARSTERN cruise PS119 hydrothermal vents and potential cold seeps are investigated using the ROV MARUM-QUEST.

New pathway of methylotrophic methanogenesis found in Helgoland Mud Area, North Sea: The known pathway of methane formation from methanol is shown in blue, involving exclusive formation of methane (CH4) from methanol (CH3OH). The new pathway (labelled with a yellow star) shows that methane can be formed by a methylotrophic methanogen also from CO2 in parallel to methane formation from methanol.

New way of methane formation in the oceanfloor discovered

Researchers have discovered a new way of methane formation in the ocean floor. The international team has now published the results in The ISME Journal.

Live dive to the ocean floor

Successful use of telepresence technology: Dives with the remotely operated MARUM-QUEST can now also be followed via live stream.
