BRIESE RESEARCH with Klaus Küper

<p>Two points have already become clear: 1. The oceans are important. 2. We know far too little about them. To change that, German research ships are underway on all the world&apos;s oceans, carrying all kinds of marine technology, technology that can withstand the harsh conditions of the world&apos;s oceans.<br/><br/>In this podcast episode, you will get to know Klaus Küper, the man responsible for eight German research vessels, who manages them and, together with a dedicated team of 15 people, ensures that what is needed at any given moment is always on board so that important scientific experiments can be carried out.  <br/><br/>Klaus Küper heads the research department at the BRIESE shipping company in Leer - here everything revolves around the eight research vessels. By the way, such a research ship is an exciting and interesting place to train and work! Klaus Küper told us that 250 seamen work there, and he also told us about a drastic experience he had as a 17-year-old deck boy that left a lasting impression on him: He sank with his ship in the English Channel and barely survived the sinking.<br/><br/>www.briese-research.com<br/>www.baerbel-fening.de<br/><br/>This podcast is also available in English: <br/>&quot;Technology And The Sea - Fascination Marine Technology&quot;.</p>
