Research Expedition in the North Atlantic
Microbial Ecology of the Deep Atlantic Pelagic Realm (MEDEA)
On 11th of November the Microbial Oceanography Group (MOVIE) finished the first cruise in the framework of the MEDEA project funded by an ERC Advanced Grant to Gerhard Herndl. In total 29 days at sea were devoted to sampling the microbial activity and community composition of the deep North Atlantic ocean.

Gerhard J. Herndl Received the Prestigious Wittgenstein Award
The Austrian 'Nobel Prize'
With an allocation of 1.5 Mio Euros, the Wittgenstein award (also traded as the Austrian Nobel prize) is the highest promotional grant for science in Austria.
Gerhard received the award inter alia due to his ground breaking contributions in the field of microbial oceanography where he is at the forefront in deciphering the metabolic processes of microorganisms in the deep sea.
