1978 January 1 PhD program @ Professor Dr. Gotthilf Hempel Director of INSTITUT FÜR MEERRESKUNDE IfM (Institute of Oceanography) Kiel UNIVERSITY

Antarctic Expedition

1978 January 5 - start of the synchroKINESIS project: What do krill and herring benefit from collective behavior? Why is it that these two high-speed voyagers became the most successful animals of the planet? Initiation of the ecoSCOPE military-conversion project for development of high speed, high definition, low intrusive in situ autonomous underwater scanning systems based on sound an light to devise a new krill/herring-abundance /-productivity apparatus. Initiation of the ecoTUNE project: and code for carbon-budgeting of the copepod/clupeid system of the northern hemisphere and diatom/krill system of the kryo-ocean around Antarctica to budget carbon sequestration rate for these enigmatic energy transitions - possibly for future ocean engineering

1983 foundation of the Antarctic Telepresence Offshore Longterm Laboratories ATOLL for development of new krill-abundance monitoring systems and visualisation-strategies for wide-band education

1987 Habilitation (second thesis / Dr. title of traditional ordinarius academia in Germany) on Synchrokinesis orientation strategy

1987 invited as "Privatdozent" to the faculty of CHRISTIAN ALBRECHTS UNIVERSITÄT venia legendi for Fisheries Biology and Biological Oceanography

leaves as HEISENBERG program member to INSTITUT FÜR MEERESKUNDE and RUTGERS UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF MARINE AND COASTAL SCIENCES

1994 invited to the faculty of RUTGERS UNIVERSITY new INSTITUTE OF MARINE AND COASTAL SCIENCES on "Collective Behavior" on the base of a tenure professorship via the new "PREFERENCE PETITION FOR OUTSTANDING PROFESSORS" - longterm goals: • 	 1) high resolution quantitative in situ films from within schools of raptorial- and  sift-feeding juvenile herring  Clupea harengus needed for GLOBEC carbon-flow bilancing of this most frequent  fish of the planet. 	• 	 2) development of computer-based  motion analysis,  in situ identification keys  and virtual organism-server for non-destructive  ocean observation strategies. • 	 3) working hypothesis: still unknown communication and energetics related to schooling are the key factors leading to the  dominance of  Euphausia in the southern hemishpere, of  Clupea in the northern hemishpere. 	• 	4) development of in situ  biosensors for environmental  monitoring

Our new virtual MICROSCOPE prototype for Euphausia superba was invited into SCIENCE MAGAZINE, RUnet2000, GBIF tool, was component of the first interactive online "Underwater Fieldguide Antarctica" of SCRIPPS in California, and found uses in many schools and textbooks all over the world http://www.schools.ash.org.au/elanorah/seakrill.htm - our http://krill.rutgers.edu biodiversity subServer became the first reference of BIOSIS - in sommer 2001 the new ecoSCOPE systems were finally able to produce scans within sift-feeding herring schools in the Baltic, our http://herring.rutgers.edu biodiversity subServer became the biology-reference of the european project clupea.de - an image from the herring-schools became the first reference image for Clupea harengus in FISHBASE.ORG - a testimage of a transparent eel-larvae Anguilla rostrata was elected as the "best image of the month" in FISHBASE.ORG in Manila, a testimage of windowpane flounder larvae as "best image of the month" in LARVALBASE.ORG in Kiel - our longterm technical goal is the completion of a new tool and strategy to monitor the abundance, collective behavior and carbon-dynamics of antarctic krill Euphausia superba with better precision - which -even the most recognized scientists do admit- is still an enigma, but probably together with Clupea amongst the most abundant and ecologically influential species of the planet.
