      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 details on this next week. But

    • The benefits of models

      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 ice-Ocean Model, which is used [...] 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 connections between the Arctic Ocean

FRAM (Frontiers in Arctic Marine Monitoring) The development of a standardized molecular observation strategy for marine eukaryotic microbes [...] tightly linked and directly contributes to the establishment of the FRAM microbial observatory that aims to monitor and understand how ongoing environmental changes affect Arctic marine prokaryotic and [...] changes will alter their role in global element cycling. Within FRAM our group carries out all research related to the development, evaluation and standardization of molecular methods for surveillance

    • Long-term investigations & catching micro plastics

      August 2017
      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 LTER-HAUSGARTEN – west off

    • Homebound through the ice.

    • The expedition comes to an end

      completed our research programme at the Knipovich Ridge south of Fram Strait. We are now on the transit toward Tromsø, where we will arrive in the morning of 6 September.

    • Back at the Greenland Ice Shelf
