An inspiring week at the Summer School "Location Matters" at the @unibremen.bsky.social. Proud that #ZMT co-hosted the event with BIPS and the Data Science Center Bremen and contributed sessions on QGIS, QField and cartography. #GIS #SummerSchool
Heute startet die 10. KSWD: Für unseren Kollegen Philipp Gies die zentrale Konferenz zu Forschungsdaten. Gespannt ist er auf Diskussionen zu sensiblen Daten, KI, Datenkompetenz & die Zukunft von Forschungsdateninfrastrukturen in Wissenschaft & Politik. #KSWD2026 #Data4Society #Forschungsdaten #NFDI
Congratulations to Dr. Theresa Schwenke on successfully defending her PhD dissertation at #ZMT. Her research highlights how Social-Ecological Network Analysis can support environmental governance and sustainability research. #ZMT #PhDDefense @unibremen.bsky.social
Dr Beatrice Brix da Costa successfully defended her PhD at the @unibremen.bsky.social . Much of her experimental macroalgae research was conducted at #ZMT under the supervision of Andreas Kunzmann. Congratulations and all the best for the future! #ZMT #PhDDefense #SeaweedResearch #Aquaculture
Vielen Dank, dass Ihr dabei wart beim #OpenCampus @unibremen.bsky.social! 🦠🔬 Es wurde eifrig filtriert und erklärt, wie wir an Proben der Mikroorganismen im Meer kommen und warum wir sie uns so genau anschauen. Danke auch an @leibniz-zmt.de und UBRA für die Zusammenarbeit.🤩 @thalassys.bsky.social
ZMT welcomes its International Scientific Advisory Board ahead of today’s 35th anniversary celebration at the Übersee-Museum Bremen. The board provides strategic guidance, independent advice, and international perspectives on research and innovation. #ZMT
How unusual is today’s ocean warming? A new DFG-funded #ZMT project studies fossil Red Sea corals from 125,000 years ago to better understand past heat stress and coral reef resilience. Read more: www.leibniz-zmt.de/en/news-at-z... Photo: H. Westphal, ZMT #Leibniz #CoralReefs #ClimateChange #DFG
Future Day at #ZMT: Students explored marine science - from microscopy to seawater systems. New: a dry training station for scientific diving. Thanks to our lab colleagues for organizing this inspiring day. #ZMT #FutureDay #MarineResearch #ScienceEducation #ScientificDiving #STEM
Congratulations to Dr. Mondane Fouqueray on her PhD at #ZMT. Her research shows how justice and power shape mangrove restoration in Colombia and Malaysia – and why social equity is key for sustainable coastal ecosystems.
Art meets science: The team behind “Im Kanton Plankton” (at Magdeburg theatre) visited #ZMT, exchanging with Prof. Dr. @Agostino Merico and exploring plankton research hands-on – from microscopy to marine experimental facility. It was a pleasure to have you here!
We were pleased to welcome around 20 fellows of @humboldt-foundation.de to #ZMT. As part of their 3-week introductory seminar, they visited our facilities & learned about our work on climate protection, blue food, maritime circular economy & coastal ecosystems. Thanks to @umweltstiftung.bsky.social
Discover and protect coral reefs: #ZMT developed an escape game for students, researchers and the public. Teams solve reef-related challenges and learn how science, society and conservation work together. Read more: www.leibniz-zmt.de/en/news-at-z...
Our colleague Rebecca Lahl, Head of the Knowledge Exchange Office, spoke with @reset.org about the potential of biodegradable plastics for our marine litter problem. #ZMT 👇👇👇👇👇
RESET - Digital for Good🌎♻️☀️@reset.org · 5mo ago🐡 By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Dissolving plastic could be exactly what our oceans need. But is it too good to be true? We put the question to Rebecca Lahl, Head of the Office for Knowledge Exchange at @leibniz-zmt.de👇 en.reset.org/could-plasti...
Plankton is crucial for the climate - but marine research is expensive & often far removed from the public eye. How can we encourage greater participation? Leonie Dziomba presented her research on this topic at “Wissen um 11” at Haus der Wissenschaft in Bremen.More: leibniz-zmt.de #ZMT
Prof. Dr. Marie Fujitani has been appointed Professor of Human Geography at the Uni Bremen. Based at ZMT, she advances sustainability transformations in tropical coastal regions, working closely with communities & policymakers on tourism, fisheries, & aquaculture. Congratulations Marie! © jan meier
The 7th ZMT Annual Conference (ZAC) took place last week, combining poster presentations with new formats in 2026. Highlights included a Research Data Service icebreaker and the session “Failing Forward” on learning from research challenges. #ZMT #ZAC #LeibnizGemeinschaft #ScientificExchange
Tomorrow, 5.2. at 20:30 (CET), our colleague Tim Jennerjahn will speak at Science for the Living Room (Wissenschaft fürs Wohnzimmer) about the Source-to-Sea approach to sustainable water management & why land and ocean must be considered together. Includes also a live Q&A. #ZMT #AWIs4Future
AWIs4Future@awis4future.bsky.social · 6mo agoSave the date: Es wird wieder Zeit für eine neue Folge Wissenschaft fürs Wohnzimmer! Diesen Do., 5.2., live um 20:30 Uhr, freuen wir uns in Folge 188 auf Dr. Tim Jennerjahn und seinen Vortrag zum ganzheitlichen Wassermanagement-Konzept: www.youtube.com/live/kwroYCd... 1/6
How do corals feed? The energy suply from ingested food has been underestimated. Corals gain energy through photosynthesis and plankton. A study by Connor Love & #ZMT highlights this for reef resilience under climate change. © Marleen Stuhr & ZMT
