At high temperatures, strongly interacting matter becomes a plasma of deconfined quarks and gluons. In statistical quantum chromodynamics, deconfinement and the properties of the resulting quark-gluon plasma can be investigated by studying the in-medium behaviour of heavy quark bound states. In high energy nuclear interactions, quarkonia probe different aspects of the medium formed in the collision. We survey the results of recent charmonium production studies in SPS and RHIC experiments.
