We would like to thank many helpers for taking over smaller and bigger tasks during all phases
of the preparation and realization of the conference in Kiel. Without the strong support of these
volunteers, organizing a conference of such a size would be impossible. We would like to
thank all of them: Jan Brüwer, Andreas Eich, Joeline Ezekiel, Thea Hamm, Lena Heel, Lisa
Hentschel, Dorothee Hohensee, Elham Kamyab, Maral Khosravi, Veloisa Mascarenhas, Ola
Nour, Olga Sazonova, Timothy Tompson, and Mara Weidung.
We are very grateful to the Kiel University and the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean
Research Kiel for providing the space and rooms for the conference and icebreaker venues.
Special thanks go to Wiebke Basse (Integrated School of Ocean Sciences ISOS of the Kiel
Cluster of Excellence “The Future Ocean”) and Michael Mattern for their organizational and
technical support prior to and during the conference.
The keynote lectures of Mojib Latif (GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research
Kiel) and Claudia Hanfland (Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine
Research, Bremerhaven) received much attention. We are grateful to both for presenting interesting and stimulating plenary talks.
The workshops during the conference were organized by several people to which we are all
grateful: Francisco Barboza, Hanna Campen, Markus Franz, Jonas Geburzi, Lydia Gustavs,
Daniel Hartmann, Marie Heidenreich, Lisa Hentschel, Maysa Ito, Veit Klimpel, Frank
Schweikert, and Martin Visbeck.
Several partners financially supported the conference: Norddeutsche Stiftung für Umwelt
und Entwicklung, SubCtech, DFG-Schwerpunktprogramm Antarktisforschung, Bornhöft
Meerestechnik, Aida, and Deutsche See.
Springer Nature provided book vouchers to award the best oral and poster presentations.
The Zoological Museum Kiel is thanked for offering free entrance to their exhibitions for
all conference participants.
The Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Bremen and the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz
Centre for Polar and Marine Research supported the publication of this proceedings book.
Thanks go to Alexandrine Chernonet, Judith Terpos, and Springer for their support during
the editing and publishing process of this book.
All chapters of this book have been peer-reviewed by internationally renowned scientists.
The reviews contributed significantly to the quality of the chapters. We would like to thank all
reviewers for their time and their excellent work: Tina Dohna, Erik Duemichen, Tor Eldevik,
Lucy Gwen Gillis, Gustaaf Hallegraeff, Charlotte Havermans, Ferenc Jordán, Trevor McIntyre,
Paul Myers, Ingo Richter, Paris Vasilakopoulos, Aurore Voldoire, Jan Marcin Węsławski,
Christian Wild, Argyro Zenetos, and further anonymous reviewers.
We editors are most grateful to all participants, session hosts, and presenters of the conference and to the contributing authors of this book. You all did a great job in presenting and
representing your (fields of) research. Without you, YOUMARES would not be worth to
organize.
