Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Dr. Ralph F. Keeling from the University of California, San Diego, USA Professor Ralph Keeling is one of the worldwide experts in the area of atmospheric gases, in particular oxygen. His pioneering initiation and development of atmospheric oxygen time-series opened up new ways to understand the balances of carbon sources and sinks on the planet, particularly for understanding ocean versus terrestrial sinks of fossil-fuel CO2. In Germany, Professor Keeling will work in close cooperation with marine scientists from the cluster of excellence "Future Ocean" and the SFB 754 "Climate-Biogeochemistry Interactions in the Tropical Ocean" on changes in dissolved oxygen in the ocean. Professor Keeling is hosted by Professor Martin Visbeck and Professor Douglas Wallace at the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences at the Christian-Albrechts Universität zu Kiel. |
