Science outreach publications

Disseminating scientific knowledge to trainees and the general public is critical to attract a diverse cohort of future researchers and to encourage broad societal support for our work. The following articles were published in the Outside column of the Journal of Experimental Biology:

The Harter lab in the media

The start of our new research group at GEOMAR was covered by:

Weniger Fische in der Ostsee: „Todeszonen“ ohne Sauerstoff
Dem Dorsch wird’s durch den Klimawandel zu stickig. Ein Studie des Kieler Geomar ergründet, wie der Sauerstoffmangel gelindert werden kann.
Kampf ums Überleben: Dorsche und Umweltstress – BLINKER
Eine neue Forschungsgruppe am GEOMAR Kiel untersucht, wie Dorsche auf Umweltveränderungen wie steigende Meerestemperaturen reagieren. Erste Ergebnisse zeigen: Die Anpassungsfähigkeit ist begrenzt.
Research on the adaptation of cod to environmental stress
19.12.2024/Kiel. The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a new Emmy Noether Research Group at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. Under the leadership of Dr Till Harter, the junior research group will investigate the physiological mechanisms by which fish balance oxygen transport and metabolic requirements under environmental stress. The group is being funded by the DFG for six years with 1.5 million euros.
