This interactive map - the Marine ScienceScape - locates the world´s key institutes, academic departments, and think tanks that primarily focus on inter- and transdisciplinary coastal and marine research themes across tropical and temperate regions. The open-source tool was developed through insights provided by institutional partners and transnational networks internationally, and will continue to evolve. The map aims at supporting research collaboration and partnership building across diverse thematic interests and geographic regions. Moreover as an informational tool, it does not claim to be scientifically representative or exhaustive, given the world´s dynamically changing marine and coastal research landscape. Institutions and scientists are invited to contribute to the further growth and differentiation of this map, by emailing in relevant organisational names and their corresponding key thematic foci to dks@leibniz-zmt.de.
