Marine Observations

Research areas

With the launch of the new research programme (2024-2033), a new organisational unit ‘Marine Observations’ (OBS) has also been established, bringing together all scientific and technical staff involved in developing the measurement strategies and technological equipment needed for coastal ocean observation.

This includes technicians and engineers responsible for innovative shallow water technologies, as well as the working group that has built our reputation for oceanographic observation systems: engineers and technicians responsible for autonomous measurement stations such as the MARNET stations and sophisticated seagoing sampling and measurement equipment.

This is complemented by a (re-)development of capacities for the use and interpretation of multispectral remote sensing data on multi-spatial-temporal scales within the IOW as well as with other partners.
