During my studies of oceanography at the Institute of Oceanography at the University of Hamburg and thereafer during my work at GEOMAR in Kiel, I participate on several cruises on board of research vessels. These pages will give a short and incomplete overview over the cruises and the scientific background of each as far as I remember.
Press on the links in the table below for pictures and explanations from the specific cruise.
| Ship | Year | Destination and background |
| R.V. Alkor | 1989 | in the Baltic Sea. Student excursion, oceanographic background teaching |
| R.V. Valdivia | 1990 | in the north Atlantic. North Atlantic deep water formation, overflow over Greenland - Island ridge |
| R.V. Heinke | 1992 | in the North Sea. Biological standard programm for fish larvie abundances. |
| R.V. Mya | 1993 | in the wadden sea around Sylt. Student excursion in the German Bight wadden sea. Experiments on reaction of the wadden sea sediments to environmental changes. |
| R.V. Heinke | 1994 | west off Ireland. Fish larvie abundances and CTD measurements in the area of the Porcupine Bank |
| R.V. Sonne | 1996 | in the Arabian Sea. Water column and sediment measurements to estimate benthic and pelagic turn over. |
| R.V. Meteor | 1998 | in the North Atlantic. Also water column and sediment measurements to estimate benthic and pelagic turn over. |
