Key research questions

addressed by the coastal research program are

How is global change affecting the coastal system?

What is the present state and present change of the coastal zone?

How can we monitor coastal processes reliably and cost-effectively ?

Institute of Coastal Research

Major issues

Methods for monitoring the quality of the coastal sea(remote sensing, ferry box, radar hydrography, COSYNA)

Climate and climate change in coastal regions (storms, wind, waves, storm surges, CoastDat)

The foreign advisory's is in charge of consulting foreign guest scientists, professors as well as Ph.D. students, students and their families in connection with immigration matters after arriving at GKSS.

The foreign advisory's is especially dealing with the following items:

Informations before arrival of the guests about regulations for visa of theInstitutes

Negotiations with the immigration authorities, especially about decisions thatcan be made at the discretion of the authorities.

Registrations at town hall, immigration authorities for our guests and theirfamilies reimbursement of pension fund payments

Assistance with the application of social benefits i.e. „Kindergeld“

Informations about German courses, schools, kindergardens, driver licence,…
