We explore marine biodiversity in temperate and tropical oceans
Our mission is to contribute to the protection of marine biodiversity through its exploration and the understanding of the drivers of its demise. We are dedicated to reconstructing baselines and trajectories of change over the entire history of human exploitation of the oceans. We enjoy working with ecologists, paleontologists and archeologists alike to achieve a broad temporal overview on the processes of biodiversity build up and loss. We consider taxonomy the foundation of biogeography and ecology. Our taxonomic research focuses on molluscs. We like fieldwork and expeditions to build collections for the future generations. |
