The Centre for Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (ZMAW) represents an institutionalised cooperation between the University of Hamburg and the Max Planck Society, which was created to combine and strengthen Hamburg's existing expertise in marine, climate and earth system research.

The Freshwater and Marine Image Bank is an ongoing digital collection of images related to freshwater and marine topics, in all their diversity. It includes images of fish, shellfish, and marine mammals, pictures of fish hatcheries and dams and vessels, materials related to polar exploration, regional and traditional fisheries, and limnological (freshwater) subjects. Its scope is global. People have always been fascinated by aquatic and marine stories and imagery. Many gorgeous 18th and 19th century books provide lovingly hand-colored images of curious fish and other living creatures. Narratives of exploration have included wonderful pictures of explorers crossing polar seas and icecaps. The publications of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries and related agencies have included copious illustrations, of living creatures, fishery products, etc. Today, unfortunately, most of those images lay buried in aging volumes on fragile paper in obscure corners of library stacks. We believe that there is still much interest and utility in these early illustrations, whether for those who are merely curious, or for students gathering illustrations for papers or for researchers. Many such images, all located in the “public domain,” are included here, and they are copiously indexed. For the most part, the images have been scanned from volumes to be found in the University of Washington Libraries. The more than 18,000 images were taken from a variety of publications issued between 1735 and 1924. ... [Information of the supplier]

The IAA was founded on September 11th, 1974 in the Hague, The Netherlands. At that time, aerobiology was not a new science as such, although its organization and international outlook was considered a really new phenomenon. As a matter of fact, aerobiology became a theme in 1964, when IBP (International Biological Program) was established. Subsequently, in 1968, an International Aerobiology Working Group was constituted to coordinate all the national aerobiological programs. Today the IAA has a membership of about 800 and is run by the Council, composed of members nominated by associated societies and organizations and by the Executive Committee comprising the President, Vice-President, Past-President, Secretary-General Treasurer, Webmaster and Newsletter Editor. They are elected by the Council taking office at the end of each Congress. Their term lasts 4 years, coinciding with the intervening period between two Congresses. The IAA organizes the Quadrennial Congress (International Congress on Aerobiology - ICA) which includes plenary sessions, symposia, scientific meetings, section meetings, commissions, committees, working groups, and exhibits on all aspects of aerobiology. Moreover, several International Courses and Meetings are being steadily held under the auspices of the IAA. The IAA publishes the International Aerobiology Newsletter twice a year and gathers all researchers interested in the study of atmospheric particles of biological origin. ...
