This is where we do our research: Our institute is located on the campus of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.
We investigate the interactions between air, water, soil, life and climate in the course of the Earth's history up to the present human-dominated era, the Anthropocene.
We conduct lab experiments analyzing, for example, water samples to determine past climates.
Our scientists also conduct research in many exciting places on Earth, such as high above the Brazilian rainforest.
Using the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory ATTO, we aim to understand the interactions between the rainforest, atmosphere, and global climate.
We collect seawater, plankton and air samples with our deep-sea research sailing yacht Eugen Seibold.
We also carry out experiments on board aircraft, which we use to study natural and anthropogenic aerosol particles and chemical processes in the atmosphere.
Scientific curiosity and teamwork are our focus, but we also embrace the spirit of adventure on our expeditions.
