Their concentrations vary due to inlets found along the course of the river, but also due [...] microplastic particles, nutrients and climate gases found in the river change on their way to the North Sea.

international team of researchers is investigating the coupling between sea ice, the ocean and its life, including within the deep sea. So far, the Arcwatch-1 expedition, launched on August 3, 2023, has delivered

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 [...] significant changes compared to previous expeditions. On 7 September 2023, Polarstern reached the North Pole, and on 20 September there was the world's first livestream of an ROV under-ice dive from the

Of special interest will be the interrelationship between sea-ice cover, meltwater [...] Arctic sea ice variability, a crucial indicator or ‘canary in the coal mine’ for the Arctic and global climate state. If greenhouse gas emissions remain unchecked and further increase, summer sea ice loss [...] draining into the Amundsen Sea, the Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers. If these two major ice streams continue retreating into the deep inner basins, they would raise the global sea level by ~1.5 m. In order

This mass occurrence of crabs has consequences

At the AWI ice laboratories, part of an ice core from the North Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) is currently being tested. The core was collected during “EastGRIP”, a joint project involving several international [...] insights into the behaviour of ice streams and improve our grasp of how they could contribute to future sea-level rise. Another goal is to record past climatic conditions beneath the northeast section of the

The North East Greenland Ice Stream transports enormous amounts of ice from the heart of the island to the sea and thus also influences global sea levels. An international research team led by the Alfred

computer-based model, they were able to show that warm water from the Atlantic flows into the European North Sea and ultimately into the cavern under the glacier tongue, where it melts the ice from below. Their [...] Greenland's ice-sheet
