Research vessel Polarstern sets course for the East Antarctic

Yesterday evening, the research vessel Polarstern set off from Cape Town for a special region: Two expeditions in East Antarctica will focus on the history of the instability of the ice sheet there and its interactions with ocean circulation. On the first leg, which will last around two months and be led by GEOMAR, the main focus will be on oceanographic, geoscientific and biological work; the second leg will be led by Kiel University and will have a geoscientific focus, with researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute involved in both expeditions. The change of personnel and ship supply will take place in Hobart at the beginning of February. On the occasion of the Polarstern’s first call in an Australian harbour, an exchange with representatives from science and politics is planned.

A strong call for ocean science to lead climate solutions

Partnering with other leading scientific and stakeholder organisations, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel participates in this year’s United Nations climate change conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. GEOMAR contributes to the Ocean Pavilion, a central hub for leveraging ocean science and solutions for the climate crisis coordinated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Today, the partners call on world leaders to enhance protection of the ocean and expand the observational capacity that is the foundation of the scientific evidence to guide progress in the “Dubai Ocean Declaration”.
