From 1995 to 1998 Ralph R. Schneider was scientific secretary of the Collaborative Research Center 261; Between 1999 and 2003 German representative of the IMAGES science committee, head of the research group “Marine Paleoenvironments”, committee member at the DFG research center “Ocean Margins” at the University of Bremen and spokesman for the German climate research program (DEKLIM, BMBF). He is also the deputy spokesman for the Cluster of Excellence " The Future Ocean " in Kiel. Since 2011 he has been director of the "KAIMS: Research Focus Marine Sciences" at Kiel University.

Research interests

Ralph Schneider is interested in current and paleoceanography, in organic-geochemical proxy methods for researching the climatic history of oceans and continents as well as bioproductivity in the ocean.
