Wüst always tried to work systematically. He therefore considered the network of stations of the “Meteor” Atlantic Expedition the obvious blueprint for the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE) 1959-1965.Warren S. Wooster: International studies of the Indian Ocean, 1959–1965. In: Deep-Sea Research, Part A, 31, 6-8. 1984, S. 589-597. The time was not yet right for his proposal,Georg Wüst: Proposed International Indian Oceanographic Expedition 1962-1963. In: Deep-Sea Research. Oxford 1960, 6 Nr.3 S. 245-249. and only during the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) 1990-1998 (http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/woce/wdiu/updates/Data_Resource.pdf) a station pattern similar to his proposal was established. Several of Wüst’s later papers dealt with historical aspects of marine science, in particular the development of oceanography and important deep-sea expeditions.Georg Wüst: Repräsentative Tiefsee-Expeditionen und Forschungsschiffe 1873-1960. In: Naturwissenschaftliche Rundschau. 1963, 16 Nr.6 S. 211-214 (Representative deep-sea expeditions and research vessels 1873-1960).Georg Wüst: The major deep-sea expeditions and research vessels 1873-1960 - A contribution to the history of oceanography.
