scientific spectrum presently available in Kiel, the JRG’s will open new lines of research and willamplify cross-disciplinary cooperation, both within and between topics A1 to B6. The new JRG’swill be allocated within various faculties of CAU and at the corresponding research units of theparticipating Leibniz Institutes to further strengthen cooperation across scientific disciplines andbetween the Cluster partners (Section 1.3.2).1.2.2.5 Impact on National and International Marine and Global Change ResearchMarine research has experienced a fundamentally new orientation within the past decade and hasbecome a major component of global change research. Science has begun to prove that significantchanges are already taking place in the oceanic ecosystem, but the underlying mechanisms andthe resulting impacts on the Earth system as a whole are not understood. It has become clear thatclimate change significantly affects the ocean, but ocean processes can also feedback on globalclimate patterns. Marine research throughout the world focuses on understanding the changes inthe global ocean ecosystem. Another major focus of marine research investigates the capacity ofthe ocean to provide mankind with living and non-living resources. Technical developments arebecoming increasingly available to exploit energy sources (oil, gas, gas hydrates, wind, and tidalpower), mineral deposits in the deep sea, and natural products (bioactive substances, newmaterials, food and food additives). Moreover, the ocean is also considered as a reservoir fordepositing anthropogenic CO 2 and other waste products. Intensive research is underway todevelop options for purposeful CO 2 sequestration and to understand the capacity of the ocean tonaturally absorb anthropogenic CO 2 . The frequency of major natural disasters caused byhurricanes and tsunamis in coastal regions strongly demands for a better understanding of theunderlying geological and climatic processes and the development of predictive and warningcapacities and other mitigation strategies to prevent excessive losses of human lives. Publicinterest in ocean matters is very high and understanding is growing that the ocean is an integralpart of the Earth system which has an increasingly direct impact on society.The proposed Cluster with its focus on the Future Ocean will directly address prominent issues offuture anticipated changes, risks and resources of the ocean. The breadth of expertise given by thecombination of existing excellence and the proposed Junior Research Groups will transform Kiel toone of, if not the leading research center on all aspects of the Future Ocean in the world. Eventoday scientists from Kiel provide essential input and thereby shape international global changeand marine research organized under World Climate Research Program (WCRP), InternationalGeosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP), International Human Dimensions Program on GlobalEnvironmental Change (IHDP), Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR), IntegratedOcean Drilling Program (IODP), Partnership for Observation of the Global Oceans (POGO) andIntergovernmental Oceanographic Committee of the United Nations Education, Scientific andCultural Organization (IOC/UNESCO). Cross-cutting initiatives, such as the Earth Science SystemPartnership (ESSP), have just been launched in order to better coordinate global change sciencebetween IHDP, WCRP and IGBP. Building on the expertise of Cluster members in national andinternational networking, the Cluster will be able to provide conceptual guidance for the11
development of these new initiatives. Cluster research will go beyond the physical dimension ofclimate change and strive toward a scientific understanding of the immediate and long-term(decades to millennia) consequences of global change as well as the impact of global change onthe physical ocean and its chemical properties and biological components. Based on soundscientific research, the Cluster will also begin to assess associated risks and/or opportunities forhumankind. The Cluster’s integrated approach to real world problems, such as access to food,energy, mineral resources, and human health, will set an example.The Cluster will study the ocean on all scales, while other marine research institutions in Germanyfocus on specific areas, including the high latitudes (Alfred Wegener Institute, Bremerhaven),ocean margins (Research Center Ocean Margins, Bremen), marginal seas (Baltic Sea ResearchInstitute Warnemünde; Institute of Oceanography, Hamburg) and the coastal zone (GKSSResearch Center, Geesthacht; Alfred Wegener Institute, Bremerhaven). The Cluster investigatesthe entire ocean from the seafloor to the atmosphere in a comprehensive approach necessitatingextensive field work, numerical modeling and experimental techniques. Nowhere else in Germany,has a similar approach been implemented. On the international level, only the NationalOceanographic Center in Southampton (Great Britain), IFREMER in Brest (France), ScrippsInstitution of Oceanography (USA) and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (USA) havedeveloped integrated research strategies on a comparable scale. However, the focus on the FutureOcean and the new multidisciplinary approach developed within the Cluster are unique to themarine science community, both nationally and internationally.Long-term impacts of the research provided by the Cluster are anticipated in two areas. Firstly, asound analysis of various aspects of changes in the marine system will be carried out in aconcerted manner. This will enable the Cluster to cross-link various investigative approachesranging from acidification of the ocean to new regulations of the international law of the sea. Thiswill provide a comprehensive and new approach to ocean matters and will alter the view of the roleof the ocean for society. Secondly, the combination of disciplines involved within the Clusterprojects is expected to open new avenues of multidisciplinary research and education in marinesciences.1.2.2.6 Transfer to ApplicationA forum for transfer to application will be established as a major element of the Cluster at theUniversity’s Division of Research and Technology Transfer. Through this forum, the Clusterproponents will ensure the transfer of newly acquired knowledge for its application outside theCluster on four different levels:(A) Scientific level: The purpose is to disseminate the results to advanced researchers bypublication in international peer-reviewed journals, organization of thematic workshops, attendanceat international conferences, and through the activities of Cluster scientists as committee membersor chairs in international scientific organizations (Section 4.2). A further aim is to open up newareas of education and training on methodologies, models, and novel concepts developed withinthe Cluster (Section 1.4).12
