Environmental Data in Unprecedented Detail high-resolution continuous record of environmental data from shallow-water corals off the coast of Hawai’i Inactive smokers are also densely colonized with microbial communities International project investigates and detects carbon sinks in the deep sea The ocean as ally in climate protection: How does ocean alkalinity enhancement affect marine life? Multi-week experiment of the international research project Ocean Alk-Align starts in Kiel Kick-off for a new polar research project YESSS to investigate warming in the Arctic during the dark season Did climate change trigger pandemics in antiquity? Samples from the ocean floor provide the first high-resolution regional climate record and prove a link to pandemics How waves and mixing drive coastal upwelling systems GEOMAR study provides new insights into productivity off the coast of Angola Third DAM research mission launched Under the short title mareXtreme, around 150 scientists are researching strategies for dealing with extreme marine events and natural hazards - thus addressing highly topical, socially relevant research issues. Key to predicting heat events in Central Europe GEOMAR study on atmospheric patterns and sea surface temperatures 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.
