The polar regions and the oceans play a central role in the global climate system. We explore the Arctic, Antarctic, and the seas and coastal regions of the temperate latitudes. From the atmosphere to the deep sea. Climate research for us and for future generations.
ICYMARE, a conference organised by and for young marine scientists, will take place in Bremerhaven from 13-16 September. Organized entirely by volunteers, the international meeting offers the opportunity to exchange ideas with other young researchers and to build up a network at an early stage. ICYMARE is an event of the Bremen Society for Natural Sciences and will take place at the University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven and the AWI – with many contributions from AWI young researchers.
AWI Director Antje Boetius will give a talk on "Eyewitnesses Anthropocene: Expeditions to the End of the World" at the 132nd Assembly and 200th Anniversary of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Physicians (GDNÄ) on September 8, beginning at 4:30 pm. The lecture will be streamed live. In addition, AWI will present the photo exhibition on the MOSAiC expedition: "Polarnight" by Esther Horvath at the assembly.
On 6 September, the Kavli Award Ceremony will took place in Oslo, with AWI Director Antje Boetius and AWI Vice Director Uwe Nixdorf also attending. The Kavli Prize honours scientists for achievements in astrophysics, nanosciences and neurosciences and is presented to the winners by Norway's King Harald V. In addition to the award ceremony, the entire week represents a biennial celebration of science and provides opportunities for dialogue on significant research.
