man Science Foundation (DFG), the Federal<br />
Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF),<br />
the directorates of the European Union (EU)<br />
as well as other funding agencies. We would<br />
like to express our gratitude to all of those<br />
who have supported our research during the<br />
past years.<br />
Highlights in this context are the two Collaborative<br />
Research Centres (Sonderforschungsbereiche)<br />
in which <strong>IFM</strong>-<strong>GEOMAR</strong> plays<br />
a leading role. Since 2008, DFG is funding<br />
SFB 754 on “Biogeochemistry Interactions in<br />
the Tropical Ocean”. SFB 574 on “Fluids and<br />
Volatiles in Subduction Zones” that started<br />
in 2000, was implemented within the groups<br />
of the former <strong>GEOMAR</strong> and investigates the<br />
“subduction factory” and its role for climate<br />
feedbacks and natural disasters.<br />
In 2006, <strong>IFM</strong>-<strong>GEOMAR</strong> together with six faculties<br />
of Kiel University, the Institute for the<br />
World Economy and the Muthesius School<br />
of Arts received 36 Mio. Euros funding for<br />
the Excellence Cluster “Future Ocean”.<br />
Within <strong>IFM</strong>-<strong>GEOMAR</strong> four new junior research<br />
groups of the cluster were etablished<br />
that contribute substantially to a number of<br />
projects of the cluster.<br />
The results of the institute’s research work<br />
are generally made available through a wide<br />
range of publications. The main emphasis<br />
is on peer-reviewed international journals.<br />
Increasingly, dissemination of information<br />
in electronic form through the internet portal<br />
of <strong>IFM</strong>-<strong>GEOMAR</strong> (www.ifm-geomar.de) is<br />
used.<br />
In particular in the field of technology development,<br />
<strong>IFM</strong>-<strong>GEOMAR</strong> cooperates with<br />
a number of small and medium-sized enterprises<br />
that are active in marine technology<br />
and science and are partly founded by<br />
former staff members of the institute.<br />
The Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences is<br />
a member of the Leibniz Association (Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft<br />
Gottfried Wilhelm<br />
Leibniz (WGL)), the Konsortium Deutsche<br />
Meeresforschung (KDM), the European Marine<br />
Board of the European Science Foundation<br />
and the Partnership for Observation of<br />
the Global Oceans (POGO).<br />
