Helmholtz Zentrum Geesthacht Centre for Materials and Costal Research
The work in the field of coastal research is devoted to the growing and complex problems facing coastal regions worldwide as a result of the pressures of increasing settlement and industrialization, as well as the threat of natural dangers such as tsunamis and flood tides. The issues of climate change, material fluxes and the coastal habitat require professional management founded on a sound scientific basis. The coastal researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht have made it their business to provide the latter. Activities in the field of materials research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht are focused on development and testing of especially lightweight materials and advanced engineering materials. An overriding goal here is to conserve raw materials and energy resources.
