Project Information Project Title: Global Carbon Cycling and Complex Molecular Patterns in Aquatic Systems: Integrated Analyses Powered by Semantic Data Management Project Duration: 04/2021 – 12/2024 Funding Agency: Volkswagen Foundation Lead-PI: Prof. Dr. Thorsten Dittmar Abstract Over the past decade, a wealth of highly diverse molecular data regarding dissolved organic matter and marine microbes have been collected. To gain deeper insights into the global carbon cycle it is necessary to combine these very complex, heterogeneous data in the oceanographic context.
