studies at a major long-term monitoring station in the Arctic: the AWI’s Hausgarten observatory in the Fram Strait, where experts from various disciplines are investigating all aspects of the ecosystem, from

deployed. We also took many water and sediment samples and videos which are part of the work of the FRAM infrastructure. This has kept many of us busy, but also happy with the success. We will tell you more

Alfred-Wegener-Institut) If we can realistically simulate the past and present processes at work in the Fram Strait, we can then calculate projections for the future. I work with FESOM, the Finite Element Sea [...] ocean currents, hydrography and sea ice. I’m currently using FESOM to simulate the circulation in the Fram Strait, which is located between Greenland and Svalbard and represents one of the most important

research stations in the Arctic and Antarctic, monitoring ocean currents at our deep-sea moorings in the Fram Strait and the Weddell Sea, and the data from our sea-ice buoys drifting through the Antarctic and

We finished our scientific program in the western Fram-Strait at the East-Greenland slope and went back to our main research area of the long-term observatory

went with RV Polarstern, PS93.2 und PS99.2, to the long-term observatory of Alfred-Wegener-Institute 'FRAM'.
