GEOMARs
GEOMARs, or Geophysical and Environmental Observatories and Models and Applications Research Systems, are a group of research facilities and programs focused on marine and polar research. They are operated by the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel (GEOMAR) in Germany. The primary goal of GEOMARs is to advance understanding of the Earth's oceans, polar regions, and the climate system through comprehensive observations, modeling, and data analysis.
The GEOMARs facilities include various research vessels, such as the R/V Polarstern and the R/V Meteor, which
In addition to field observations, GEOMARs also employs numerical models to simulate and predict ocean and
The research conducted by GEOMARs is interdisciplinary, involving scientists from various fields such as physics, chemistry,
GEOMARs plays a crucial role in international research collaborations, contributing to global initiatives such as the
