Activities & News

MarDATA doctoral researchers from AWI and GEOMAR recently gathered on Helgoland for a four-day writing retreat. In a focused and distraction-free setting, they worked on dissertations, articles, and proposals - supported by writing workshops, keynote talks, and peer exchange tailored to the needs of interdisciplinary marine data science.

MarDATA Welcomes New Doctoral Researchers! We are thrilled to welcome six new Doctoral Researchers to the MarDATA community! With four already on board and two more joining soon, these talented scientists will tackle cutting-edge research topics at GEOMAR in Kiel and AWI in Bremerhaven.

During the MarDATA Retreat on November 18–19 at AWI in Bremerhaven, the General Assembly of MarDATA doctoral researchers convened. As part of the assembly, the election of new MarDATA representatives took place.

Mid-March, twelve MarDATA doctoral researchers met with WASCAL master students in Mindelo Cabo Verde, to jointly develop solutions to increase the value of marinedata for local stakeholders and the scientific community.

From November 06 to 08, 2023, active MarDATA doctoral researchers, supervisors from all partner institutes and invited guests met at the Übersee Museum in Bremen for the MarDATA Retreat 2023.

On 06 July it was time again: MarDATA meets Industry went into the next round.

MarDATA is striving to anchor the term Marine Data Science in the scientific community. Therefore, we are very pleased that MarDATA doctoral researchers are actively involved in the AGU Fall Meeting 22 - As speakers and chairs of the session "Interpretable Machine Learning for Marine Science", Wednesday 14 Dec!

Congratulations to Dr Carola Trahms, who today became the first doctoral researcher at MarDATA ever to defend her thesis "Marine Data Fusion for Analyzing Spatio-Temproral Ocean Region Connectivity".

The era of high-resolution, integrated multi-omics: disturbingly complex and beautifully unique displays of the ecology and evolution of marine microbial life

At last the time has come. After almost three years of not having any face-to-face meetings, we were able to finally meet and exchange ideas in person in Kiel.

The demand for experts in Marine Data Science in the private sector is as high as it is in the scientific community.

Have you ever wondered what it means to be an Marine Data Scientist?

Last Tuesday, the Helmholtz Information and Data Science Academy (HIDA) invited to the opening of their new office space in Berlin. During the event, to which representatives from politics, science and the private sector were invited, all 6 HIDSS were able to present their research at the interface between domain and computer science.

As a follow up to the initial meeting with representatives from the maritime technology sector, a consortium of MarDATA, Ki-Wi Kieler Wirtschaftsförderung, GMT - German Association for Marine Technology, Maritime Cluster Northern Germany, Digital Economy Schleswig-Holstein (DiWiSH) has set up an in-person event at TransMarTech SH in Kiel.

The Helmholtz School for Marine Data Science (MarDATA) has set itself the goal of defining, training and establishing a "new type" of scientist: the "Marine Data Scientist".

HIDA Lecture @ MarDATA Speaker: Prof. Dr. Markus Reichstein, Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry & Friedrich Schiller University, Jena

2021 has been a year full of restrictions and challenges related to the COVID19 pandemic. Once again we were forced to conduct almost all MarDATA activities online and for many of us working extended home office periods became "the new normal“.

For the first time in months, young data scientists met in person (following a 2G protocol) in Gummersbach for the 1st Helmholtz Herbst Hackathon that was organized by Digital Earth, HIDA, Helmholtz AI, HDS-LEE and MarDATA.

The Helmholtz School for Marine Data Science (MarDATA) is looking for graduates in computer science, computer engineering, applied mathematics (and the like) to fill 9 PhD positions (full position E13, 36 month) in computer science and marine data science at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany.
