Technology And The Sea - Fascination Marine Technology MEER ERLEBEN
-
- Technology
Marine technology is not about ships and shipbuilding, but about the technology that is used to explore the oceans, protect them and use them sustainably.Please consider the harsh conditions the marine technology is exposed to in the sea. The sea is often a very inaccessible habitat with strong currents and aggressive salt water. The deeper you get, the higher the water pressure becomes, people and equipment have to be able to withstand this. Wind and waves make the work even more difficult, many jobs can only be done up to a certain wave height. Sometimes you also have to pay attention to the tides. And then there are remote and climatically demanding regions like the Arctic or the Antarctic.After all, we know surprisingly little about what lives in the sea. Researchers assume that there are a good 1 million higher organisms and 1 billion species of microbes. The sea is an almost inexhaustible source of natural substances. However, 95% of them are unexplored, in the deep sea even 99%. Marine tech is of great importance. In this podcast we'll have a closer look at it. Bärbel Fening is a German podcaster and a tv-journalist, who specializes in marine issues: https://www.baerbel-fening.de This podcast is produced in cooperation with the German Association for Marine Technology:https://www.maritime-technik.de

Your Ship in Action for Marine Research: SOOP - Toste Tanhua, GEOMAR Kiel
Lots of ships in action for marine research - that's the idea behind the SOOP innovation platform, which is the subject of this podcast episode:
Private sailing ships, cargo ships, cruise ships, ferries or cutters - every ship can collect the scientific data that is so urgently needed for marine research wherever it is travelling.
SOOP - Shaping an Ocean of Possibilities - is a new innovation platform that aims to bring everyone together:
Industry, which is developing the necessary easy-to-use marine technology,
society, which plays its part in collecting data and
science, which works with this data.
SOOP is being funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research from 2023 to 2025 as part of the Helmholtz funding line "Innovation platforms as sustainable and structure-building measures to strengthen transfer and innovation".
This innovation platform is coordinated by Toste Tanhua, chemist and oceanographer at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, who explains in detail in this podcast episode how SOOP will work and how you can already support it now.

Cutting-Edge Marine Technology in the OCEAN RACE - by Stefan Raimund, Ocean Science Advisor
This podcast episode is about cutting-edge marine technology in extreme use. It's in action at one of the longest and toughest professional sailing events in the world, the OCEAN RACE, which is not only a sporting event but also a race that is really about the state of the oceans. All five teams have cutting-edge marine technology on board to collect data along the way while raising awareness about the importance of this other Ocean Race.
For this podcast episode, I spoke with Stefan Raimund, the scientific lead of the Ocean Race.

Groundbreaking Innovation for Sustainable Oceans by Bosch Rexroth
In this podcast episode, I talk to Dr. Alexandre Orth, Head of Subsea Automation Systems at Bosch Rexroth and with Gottfried Hendrix, Manager of Technical Systems and Solutions, Technical Architect for Subsea Automation Systems, also at Bosch Rexroth. Together with a team, the two have developed the world's smallest electric subsea actuator, which can replace the conventional hydraulic cylinder without taking up additional space.
