Individual guest scientists

In order to support the guest researchers at the Marine Station Helgoland in the implementation of their projects, we provide guest laboratories that can be booked.

The guest labs each offer space for two scientists and are equipped with internet connection, sea water connection and basic laboratory equipment such as microscopes and refrigerators/freezers. The use of extended equipment is possible in consultation with the technical supervisor for guest scientists Uwe Nettelmann (Uwe.Nettelmann@awi.de, Tel: 04725-819 3200) and the coordinator of the guest science programme Anna Bergmann (Anna.Bergmann@awi.de, Tel: 04725-819 3136). 

The proximity of the BAH to the Helgoland rocky intertial enables our visiting researchers to easily collect biological material in the intertidal zone. In addition, sublittoral organisms can be obtained through our Scientific Diving Department. The research vessels 'Uthörn' and 'Aade' can be used for sampling plankton catches and from the sublittoral. The collected organisms can be kept in a flow-through system. In addition, a constant temperature room with a seawater connection is available for experiments or for keeping samples.
