1. Management & Organization 1.1 IFM-GEOMAR Overview The Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences at the Kiel University (IFM-GEOMAR) was founded January 1, 2004 through a merger of the former Institute for Marine Research (IfM) and the GEOMAR Research Centre for Marine Geosciences. The mission of IFM-GEOMAR is to investigate the physical, chemical, biological, and geological processes in the ocean and their interaction with the seafloor and the atmosphere. IFM-GEOMAR has identified four overarching research themes: • Role of the Ocean in Climate Change • Human Impact on Marine Ecosystems • Living and Non-Living Marine Resources • Plate Tectonic Processes and Geological Hazards. The research topics are grouped in four areas: Ocean Circulation and Climate Dynamics, Marine Biogeochemistry, Marine Ecology, and Dynamics of the Ocean Floor. In addition, there are two major interdisciplinary Collaborative Research Centres (SFBs) funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG). The institute is an independent foundation under public law, supervised by a “Board of Governors” which consists of representatives of State and Federal Governments, the Kiel University, a representative from another research institution, a representative from pri- vate industry and the chairman of the institute’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). The SAB of IFM-GEOMAR is an internationally constituted advisory group with leading scientists representing all major research disciplines found at the institute. An overview of the organizational structure of the institute is shown in Figure 1 (page 4). By the end of 2011, IFM-GEOMAR had about 764 employees, including 383 scientists and 381 service and technical staff (incl. student assistance). About 306 scientists and 242 service and technical staff were funded through research grants. The Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences is associated with the Kiel University through a cooperation agreement and contributes substantially to undergraduate and graduate teaching in the following fields: Bachelor in “Physics of the Earth System: Oceanography - Meteorology - Geophysics”, Master in “Climate Physics: Meteorology and Physical Oceanography”, Master in “Biological Oceanography”, and contributions to other courses in Geosciences at Kiel University. The involvement of master, diploma and Ph.D. students in research projects is an important element of IFM-GEOMAR research. The total number of students at IFM-GEO- MAR is currently about 300. Through training of students and young scientists from foreign countries, the institute has contributed significantly to the development of Appendices infrastructures for marine science in many regions of the world. Several international study programmes have been implemented in recent years. Much of the institute’s research work contributes to international research efforts such as the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) or the Integrated Ocean Drilling Programme (IODP). Emphasis is on a better understanding of the ocean’s past and present role for climate variations and air-sea interactions, the role of biogeochemical transport and transformations in global change, the response and sensitivity of marine ecosystems to external forcing, gas hydrate research and risk assessment of natural hazards due to plate tectonics. IFM-GEOMAR scientists have a long tradition of participating in national and international planning and management of large-scale inter-disciplinary research programs. This includes programmes such as CLIVAR (Climate Variability and Predictability), BALTEX (Baltic Sea Experiment), SOLAS (Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere), GLOBEC (Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics), IODP, Interridge, and others. The scientific work of IFM-GEOMAR could not have been maintained without funding of peer-reviewed proposals through the Ger- - IFM-GEOMAR Report 2011 - 1 Appendices
Appendices 2 Appendices man Science Foundation (DFG), the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the directorates of the European Union (EU) as well as other funding agencies. We would like to express our gratitude to all of those who have supported our research during the past years. Highlights in this context are the two Collaborative Research Centres (Sonderforschungsbereiche) in which IFM-GEOMAR plays a leading role. Since 2008, DFG is funding SFB 754 on “Biogeochemistry Interactions in the Tropical Ocean”. SFB 574 on “Fluids and Volatiles in Subduction Zones” that started in 2000, was implemented within the groups of the former GEOMAR and investigates the “subduction factory” and its role for climate feedbacks and natural disasters. In 2006, IFM-GEOMAR together with six faculties of Kiel University, the Institute for the World Economy and the Muthesius School of Arts received 36 Mio. Euros funding for the Excellence Cluster “Future Ocean”. Within IFM-GEOMAR four new junior research groups of the cluster were etablished that contribute substantially to a number of projects of the cluster. The results of the institute’s research work are generally made available through a wide range of publications. The main emphasis is on peer-reviewed international journals. Increasingly, dissemination of information in electronic form through the internet portal of IFM-GEOMAR (www.ifm-geomar.de) is used. In particular in the field of technology development, IFM-GEOMAR cooperates with a number of small and medium-sized enterprises that are active in marine technology and science and are partly founded by former staff members of the institute. The Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences is a member of the Leibniz Association (Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (WGL)), the Konsortium Deutsche Meeresforschung (KDM), the European Marine Board of the European Science Foundation and the Partnership for Observation of the Global Oceans (POGO). - IFM-GEOMAR Report 2011 - 1.2 Organizational Structure (31.12.2011) See also diagram on page 4 1.
