Erfahren Sie, warum wir an Fliegen forschen und wie und zu welchem Zweck wir sie manipulieren. Wir zeigen, wie wir sie züchten und bestimmte Fliegen für Kreuzungen auswählen, und stellen die Techniken vor, die wir zur Veränderung ihrer Gene einsetzen.

Deep in the Amazon rainforest stands a measuring tower as tall as the Eiffel Tower. In our foyer you can climb a model of the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory and learn more about the research project in an exhibition by scientists.

Collecting, preparing and analysing different samples - how does that work and with which methods and instruments? At our information stand, we will show you the path from the sample to the result of the chemical elements you are looking for.

Look through our microscope and discover the diversity of phytoplankton! These single-celled plant organisms use sunlight and carbon dioxide to make photosynthesis in water. Talk to our expert and learn more about these exciting organisms!

Using the cycles of carbon and water, you will learn what local measurements reveal about global events.

Join us and explore some data sets and scientific contributions done by scientists at the institute. Get an up close and personal explanation of what we can learn from data via animations and interactive applications in full colour and high definition.

Where does the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere come from? What information do we get from analysing the stable isotope ratios in the air? In our BGC-IsoLab, you will not only get the answers but also an insight into a modern mass spectrometry laboratory.
