Definition

  • The Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) was founded in July 1876 as the Marine Zoological Station and is presently one of the major European oceanographic institutes. NIOZ is a research institute under the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). Its mission is to pursue multidisciplinary marine research related to phenomena and mechanisms in coastal and shelf seas as well as the open ocean and involves close co-operation between physicists, chemists, geologists and biologists. Apart from curiosity-driven research, the institute is also engaged in policy-focused and society-driven research. To create an optimal framework to answer key questions in oceanography related to the functioning of marine ecosystems and their changes over time (i.c. climate change) most of the research is concentrated and organized in four major research themes: A. Transfer and transport of matter and energy in the sea B. Transfer of matter in sediments C. Ecology of marine species, community dynamics and biodiversity D. Temporal variability in marine systems and climate change Website: "http://www.nioz.nl/" [Summary provided by NIOZ.] (en)
