Our offer for guest researcher

In order to support the BAH's guest researchers 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 a computer. The use of extended equipment is possible in consultation with the technical supervisor for guest researchers Uwe Nettelmann (Uwe.Nettelmann@awi.de, Tel: 04725-819 3200) and the guest research management. 

The proximity of the BAH to the Helgoland rocky mudflats 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. Visiting researchers are requested to order material from the diving team by sending this order form to Uwe Nettelmann (uwe.nettelmann@awi.de), as this facilitates the allocation of organisms. 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.

To use the service, a binding registration per person in the webportal and an agreement with the guest research team on site is essential.
