Welcome at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry
Focus on the Earth
Our research is dedicated to the study of global biogeochemical cycles describing the interactions between the biosphere, the atmosphere, the geosphere and the entire climate system. We aim to better understand how living organisms - including humans - exchange basic resources such as water, carbon, nutrients, and energy with their environment and how this affects ecosystems and climate at regional to global scales.
We support the initiative Weltoffenes Thüringen!
We are committed to ensuring that people from different backgrounds live and work together respectfully.
