The Cluster objectives will be addressed by the new JRG’s in collaboration with the proponentsunder two overarching themes (Fig. 1):• Oceans in the Greenhouse World: The human-induced rise in atmospheric CO 2 will affect theocean in two ways: increased surface warming and seawater acidification. These changesmay in turn trigger major shifts in ocean circulation, ecosystem structure, marine carboncycling, and exchanges with the atmosphere. These issues as well as an evaluation ofcarbon abatement strategies will be assessed by the Future Ocean Cluster through a highlymultidisciplinary approach integrating climate sciences, oceanography, biogeochemistry,marine biology, geosciences and economy.• Marine Resources and Risks: The depletion of resources on land and the changingregulatory and geopolitical environment will lead to increasing pressure to develop marineresources in the future. Concomitantly, ocean change will have immediate implications for theexploitation of marine resources and will increase the likelihood of hazardous and extremeevents. This will lead to both new opportunities and new risks for the growing worldpopulation. The Future Ocean Cluster will combine natural sciences with medicine,economics, social sciences and law to explore this opportunities and risks in an integratedapproach.The multidisciplinary collaborations required to cover the breath of research topics will lead to anew level of cross-disciplinarity to address ocean-related questions with a truly integrated andinnovative approach. Never previously have experts from this wide range of disciplines and provenexcellence merged to focus on questions of such key relevance to the Future Ocean. It is expectedthat new avenues of research will emerge from this initiative. Based on this novel researchprogram, the Future Ocean Cluster will be able to better assess the chances and risks associatedwith ocean change and provide sound guidance to decision makers and stakeholders.Cluster research will be supported by four fundamental research platforms (P1 - P4 in Fig. 1). Theplatforms will offer a wide range of services including numerical expertise, ocean modeling, andsuper-computer support, isotope and trace element analysis, access to high-throughput molecularanalysis facilities, and cutting-edge marine technology to explore and observe the global ocean inspace and time from the oceanic crust to the air-sea interface. The Cluster platforms permit themore efficient use of resources and will be further developed and strengthened according to thescientific needs of the Cluster.A11
The Cluster is embedded in the “Kieler Forschernetzwerk: Ozean der Zukunft” (www.ozean-derzukunft.de).This network of Kiel-based scientists was founded in November 2005 and receivedstart-up funding from the State of Schleswig Holstein to coordinate a range of activities devoted tothe Future Ocean theme. The network will continue beyond the funding period of the Cluster andensure that all major Cluster elements will carry on working after Cluster funding has ended. Thescientific objectives identified in the Cluster proposal will be pursued and further developed withinthis network over the coming decades.Four general strategies are followed at CAU for its structural development: (1) the University iscurrently in the process of concentrating its infrastructural resources into centers, (2) the Universityhas developed a concept to establish new JRG’s at the interface between and at the forefront ofvarious existing research fields; (3) new educational paths have been developed on the Master’sand Ph.D. levels to offer curricula with a wide disciplinary scope provided from various faculties; (4)multidisciplinary research themes are identified and supported by University funding to overcomethe traditional boundaries between the faculties and to sharpen the University’s scientific profile.The Cluster will act as a pilot project to implement these new structures at the University and is,hence, fully consistent with strategic planning at CAU.Organizational bodies of the Cluster defined in the full proposal will ensure the effectivecooperation between CAU, IFM-GEOMAR and IfW. Quality control and monitoring of theperformance of the Cluster will be supported by a central data bank of quantitative indicatorsrelated to scientific performance and to success in achieving structural goalsCluster ResourcesCAU and its associated research institutions are proud of having a long tradition of excellence inmarine-oriented science. The Future Ocean Cluster will build on the existing excellence by forminga consortium of more than one hundred scientists, including 66 full professors, from six facultiesand two Leibniz Institutes to further broaden and strengthen the CAU’s profile as a leadingEuropean university in ocean sciences. Cluster proponents have received several internationalawards and honours in addition to four Gottfried-Wilhelm-Leibniz Prizes and currently lead threeCollaborative Research Centers (SFB 460, 574, 617). The most recent rankings reveal that CAUhas received the highest levels of German third-party funding in the field of the geosciences andthat CAU takes first place in attracting esteemed international geoscientists as Research Fellowsof the Humboldt Foundation. The participating Leibniz Institutes add to this existing excellence.Thus, IFM-GEOMAR is among the top 10 marine science institutions, world-wide, according to theinternational CEST-ranking and IfW has an excellent reputation in providing advice for key politicaldecisions. A high level of international recognition is also documented through more than 50contributions to NATURE and SCIENCE by Cluster proponents over the past decade.A12
