MARUM – The ocean in depth!

Research

MARUM research focusses on the role of the ocean in the climate system, interactions between geosphere and biosphere, and dynamics of the ocean floor.
Infrastructure

MARUM operates and develops-cutting edge underwater technologies, archives for seafloors samples, the data center PANGAEA, and laboratories.
Early Career

Training of early career scientists is a major goal of MARUM. We provide training and services for our students from the PhD to the Postdoc level.
Discover

Exhibitions and videos, books and brochures, a school lab, press releases and social media inform the public about MARUM`s research activities.

MARUM's Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) are in use in the oceans worldwide. On their way into the deep sea and at the bottom of the oceans, the researchers discover unique habitats with the help of the robots, encounter their inhabitants and experience very special Deep-Sea Moments again and again on their expeditions. Watch here: Deep Sea Moments
