A new podcast episode of “#exzellenterklaert - Spitzenforschung für alle” is online. The new episode deals with the subject “The Ocean Floor: Unexplored Interface of the Earth”. The ocean floor is a unique ecosystem. However, as of yet, only a small portion of it has been scientifically investigated. The difficulties related to accessibility necessitate ship expeditions and the use of highly specialized underwater equipment for its exploration. The Cluster of Excellence “The Ocean Floor – Earth’s Uncharted Interface” aims to initiate a new chapter in this field of research by quantifying exchange processes at this significant boundary layer and their roles in the Earth's ecosystem.
The German science podcast “Exzellent Erklärt - Spitzenforschung für alle” reflects the research diversity of Germany’s leading research institutions and Clusters of Excellence: from Antiquities to Quantum Physics. In each episode, listeners can expect insights into the interdisciplinary work of one research network.
