Joint projects
Coming together is a beginning. Staying together is progress. Working together is success.
- Henry Ford
As in the first two research missions of the German Alliance for Marine Research (DAM), CDRmare and sustainMare, researchers from various disciplines work together in mareXtreme in close coordination with actors from politics, business and civil society.
In order to identify synergies between the joint projects and promote cooperation, interdisciplinary meetings are held regularly. In addition, cross-mission working groups are formed on key topic areas.
The Projects
investigates the impacts of physical-oceanographic extreme events on ecosystem services in the Elbe estuary coastal system.
investigates the impacts of and strategies for adapting to future physical-oceanographic extreme scenarios on German coasts.
develops improved on-site action and forecasting options for multiple geomarine extreme events such as seaquakes and tsunamis in the Mediterranean.
investigates ways to predict biological threats to the sea in order to prevent socio-economic impacts.
Cross-sectional topics
-
Understanding and defining real-world laboratories
-
Understanding and typology of end2end early warning systems (UNESCO-IOC)
-
System understanding of marine extreme events (analogy to IPCC-SREX, 2012)
In addition to the central cross-cutting topics, there are other topics that are addressed across all joint projects. These include the joint development of new forecasting technologies, the use of synergies in the area of modeling and the definition of recommendations for action.
