Das Projekt "FZT 15: Der Ozean im Erdsystem; Ocean Margins - Research Topics in Marine Geosciences for the 21st Century, Sub project: Infrastructure, Support and Central Management" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Universität Bremen, Zentrum für marine Umweltwissenschaften.The research centre 'Ocean Margins' at the University of Bremen was established in July 2001 to geoscientifically investigate the transitional zones between the oceans and the continents. The work of the research centre is a cooperative effort, with expertise provided by the geosciences department and other departments of the university, as well as by MARUM (Center for Marine Environmental Sciences), the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, the Center for Marine Tropical Ecology, and the Senckenberg Research Institute in Wilhelmshaven. Funded by the DFG, the studies focus on four main research fields: Paleoenvironment, Biogeochemical processes, Sedimentation Processes, and Environmental Impact Research. The term 'Ocean Margin' encompasses the region from the coast, across the shelf and continental slope, to the foot of the slope. Over 60 percent of the world's population live in coastal regions. These people have a long history of exploitation of coastal waters, including the recovery of raw materials and food. Human activity has recently been expanding ever farther out into the ocean, where the ocean margins have become more attractive as centers for hydrocarbon exploration, industrial fishing, and other purposes. The research themes of the centre range from environmental changes in the Tertiary to the impact of recent coastal construction, and from microbial degradation in the sediment to large-scale sediment mass wasting along continental margins. New full professorships and junior professorships have been established within the framework of this research centre. In addition to the primary research activities, a research infrastructure will be made available to outside researchers. Graduate education and the public understanding of science also play an important role. In the course of the first two rounds of the Excellence Initiative, the Research Centre was promoted to that status of a cluster of excellence, which has increased the amount of funding it receives up to the average amount of 6.5 million per annum received by clusters of excellence.
Das Projekt "Fossile Wanzen aus der Grube Messel und anderen tertiären Fossillagerstätten - Ein Vergleich Der Biodiversität (Wanzen)" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft / Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: LOEWE - Biodiversität und Klima Forschungszentrum (BiK-F).Wie veränderte sich die Biodiverstiät der Wanzen (Heteroptera) im Verlauf des Tertiärs? Über den Einfluss der Abkühlungsphase am Ende des Eozäns auf die Insekten ist bisher nur wenig bekannt. Fossil überlieferte Wanzen aus verschiedenen Fundstellen sollen erforscht werden, wobei die Wanzen aus der Grube Messel einen Untersuchungsschwerpunkt für den Zeitraum des eozänen Klimaoptimums darstellen.

Das Projekt "Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 1158: Antarctic Research with Comparable Investigations in Arctic Sea Ice Areas; Bereich Infrastruktur - Antarktisforschung mit vergleichenden Untersuchungen in arktischen Eisgebieten, Physical properties, climate signals, and structural features of Tertiary sediments in the Southern McMurdo Sound (Antarctica) derived from downhole logging in the ANDRILL-SMS project" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Leibniz-Institut für Angewandte Geophysik.In the framework of the international ANtarctic DRILLing program (ANDRILL) the 1138 m deep core borehole SMS was drilled in the Southern McMurdo Sound (Ross Sea). The investigations of Antarctic Neogene ice sheet variations, of long-term climate evolutions and of the tectonic history of McMurdo Sound represent the main project aims. One part of the German participation in the ANDRILL project is the extensive geophysical logging of the SMS borehole. It delivers a main basis for answering a lot of questions in the scope of the whole project consisting of about 100 scientists. Interpreting the downhole logging data permits among other things to establish a complete lithological log, to characterize the drilled sediments petrophysically, to determine sedimentary structures and to get evidence about palaeoclimatic conditions during up to 19 Mio years. Seismic experiments in the borehole allow linking detailed geological information with shipborne seismic sections. This way, local results can be transformed into spatial information thus providing an important contribution to the understanding of the tectonic structure of the Ross Sea.
Das Projekt "Geologisches 3D-Modell Landkreis Celle" wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Institut für Geowissenschaften.Das geologische 3d Modell Landkreis Celle umfasst eine Fläche von 1546 km2 und wird hydrostratigraphisch in 22 Schichten unterteilt. Das 3d Geologie-Modell ist Grundlage für die anschließende Grundwassermodellierung zu wasserwirtschaftlichen Beurteilung von Entnahmeraten des Grundwassers für landwirtschaftliche Zwecke. Das Modell umfasst Einheiten des Quartärs und Tertiärs, die Modellbasis liegt bei -225 m NN. Die horizontale Auflösung der Raster beträgt 25 x 25 m. Die Modellerstellung erfolgt mit profilschnittbasierten Konzepten, die durch die Kooperationspartner bereitgestellt und abgestimmt wurden. Die Modellschichten werden entsprechend der Hydrostratigraphischen Gliederung Niedersachsen (Reutter 2005) für das regionale Modell erstmals umgesetzt.
