Mesocosms for Ocean Simulations

The Kiel Off-Shore Mesocosms for Ocean Simulations (KOSMOS) are a seagoing mobile platform for mesocosm experiments. Research teams lead by GEOMAR deployed the KOSMOS mesocosms already twice in Norway’s Raunefjord near Bergen. In 2011, they concentrated on a tiny organism with great importance for the global climate: the single-celled calcifying alga Emiliania huxleyi.
