Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research

Bremen (city)Leibniz Association

The Leibniz-Zentrum für Marine Tropenforschung (ZMT) (Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research) in Bremen, Germany is the only scientific institute in Germany that exclusively investigates tropical and subtropical coastal ecosystems and their significance for nature and humans in an interdisciplinary approach. The mission of ZMT is to provide a scientific basis for the protection and sustainable use of tropical coastal ecosystems by conducting research, capacity development and consulting activities in close cooperation with national and international partners in the tropics. Since its launch in 1991, ZMT has also developed a huge network of research and political partners within the tropics and worldwide, including more than 800 alumni. The institute offers a broad range of research infrastructure, including its own scientific diving centre and laboratories such as the Marine Experimental Ecology Facility (MAREE). ZMT also hosts the Future Earth Coasts (FEC) office, a global network of experts investigating the drivers of global change in coastal zones. The centre was founded as research institute affiliated with the University of Bremen in 1991. Since 2009 ZMT is an independent research institute and member of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Scientific Community. ZMT is also a member of the Deutsche Allianz für Meeresforschung (German Alliance for Marine Research).

In 1996, the institute moved into new buildings at the campus of the University of Bremen. It is one of 80 institutes in the Max Planck Society (Max Planck Gesellschaft). Currently, the institute consists of three departments with several associated research groups: Biogeochemistry (headed by Dr. Marcel Kuypers) Molecular Ecology (headed Prof. Dr. Rudolf Amann) Symbiosis (headed by Prof. Dr. Nicole Dubilier)Additionally, the following research groups reside in the institute. Microbial Physiology (headed by Dr. Boran Kartal) Greenhouse Gases (headed Dr. Jana Milucka) Microbial Genomics and Bioinformatics (headed by Prof. Dr. Frank Oliver Glöckner) Flow Cytometry (headed by Dr. Bernhard Fuchs) Metabolic Interactions (headed by Dr. Manuel Liebeke) Microsensors (headed by Dr. Dirk de Beer) HGF MPG Joint Research Group for Deep-Sea Ecology and Technology (headed by Prof. Dr. Antje Boetius) MARUM MPG Bridge Group Marine Glycobiology (headed Dr. Jan-Hendrik Hehemann) Max Planck Research Group Microbial Metabolism (headed by Dr. Tristan Wagner) Marine Geochemistry Group (headed by Prof. Dr. Thorsten Dittmar) Max Planck Research Group for Marine Isotope Geochemistry (headed by Dr. Katharine Pahnke-May)
