        The Pulse of Heat in the North Atlantic

        The future of the Arctic Ocean will be decided in part in the Fram Strait, a region between Greenland and Svalbard in which warm water flows northward from the Atlantic. The AWI is investigating just how much of that water actually reaches the Arctic

        Uncharted territory!

        The ice shield of Greenland is shrinking – at an ever faster rate. To understand why AWI researchers had to take the Polarstern where no other research vessel had ever been – directly to the glacier front. An expedition report

      The changing Arctic Ocean

      The changing Arctic Ocean

      After eventful and busy months, the Arctic season ends this weekend with the Polarstern expedition called ArcWatch-1. The team of almost 100 crew and scientists measured sea ice thickness and properties, recorded the currents and chemical properties of the ocean and investigated life in and under the ice, in the open water and at the bottom of the deep sea. Their data show significant changes compared to previous expeditions.

      Polarstern reaches North Pole

      Polarstern reaches North Pole

      Five weeks after setting sail from Tromsø, Norway, the Alfred Wegener Institute's research vessel Polarstern makes a stop at the northernmost point on Earth. Here, too, the international team of researchers is investigating the coupling between sea ice, the ocean and its life, including within the deep sea.

      Microplastic contamination has reached the Arctic

      Microplastic contamination has reached the Arctic

      Quantifying the amount of microplastic that appears on beaches and understanding where it came from is difficult. Scientists asked tourists on Arctic cruises to take part in a program of sample collection while visiting Svalbard and used these samples to identify microplastics that probably originated from ships and fishing net.
