Lothar Stramma

Lothar Stramma (born April 23, 1955 in Lünen ) is a German oceanographer whose research deals with ocean circulation and climate dynamics. The focus is on physical oceanography . Since 2004 he has worked at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel .

From 1975 to 1984 he studied oceanography at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel . In 1984 and 1985 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Rhode Island at Narragansett . From 1986 to 2003 he worked for the Institute for Oceanography (IfM) in Kiel.

2013 Stramma was "for his pioneering work on the large-scale circulation in the tropical Atlantic and South Atlantic, and his pioneering data analysis of the dynamics and the changes of tropical oxygen minimum zones " with Albert Defant medal awarded.

Statements and explanations by Strammas - especially on the oxygen minimum zones - are also reproduced by journalists in German-speaking countries.

Stramma is married and has two sons.
