23/10/2025 | This edition of our newsletter takes you to a unique marine protected area south of the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest in Bangladesh – the “Swatch of No ground”. Here, ZMT has been contributing to the sustainable integration of fair and viable options for local fishers into the management of the MPA.
Closer to home, the spotlight was on a three-day symposium that marked the official launch of our new institute extension TropEcS. More than 100 international experts, early-career researchers, colleagues, and partners from tropical regions – stretching from Indonesia to Peru – gathered in Bremen to discuss and explore how tropical coastal ecosystems can be better integrated into global Earth System Models.
With this symposium, ZMT took an important first step towards strengthening its modelling capacities and highlighting the crucial role of coastal and marine processes in understanding global change.
Earth system modelling – and climate research in particular – depends on accessible, high-quality data. In this issue, two of our climate scientists share insights into their work collecting and exchanging weather data.
Finally, our news section offers an overview of ZMT’s latest activities – from partnerships and capacity development to research updates and participation in high-level conferences such as UNOC3.
