Page "University of Kiel" Paragraph 2

Kiel has been the German centre for marine science since the subject first evolved.

As home to four of Germany's research vessels ( clusters of excellence ), Kiel can offer university students unrivalled opportunities for on-board training and scientific expeditions across the globe.

Some of the world ’ s leading climate scientists teach at Kiel University, and the university hosts its own supercomputer for numerical modelling of global climate change and biogeochemical cycles.

The Kiel marine sciences are closely integrated with different disciplines, such as Biology, Chemistry, Geology and Physics.

These are all brought together in a cluster of excellence, “ The Future Ocean ”, in which the GEOMAR | Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel is a strong partner.
