Scientific proposals Ships Polarstern and Heincke The operators of the large and medium-sized German research vessels have jointly established a procedure which offers [...] optimizing operation. Proposals for the use of research vessels POLARSTERN and HEINCKE can only be submitted to the German Research Vessel Evaluation Panel (GPF) via the German Research Vessel Portal ( [...] in 2027 should, however, be submitted one year in advance. For POLARSTERN (main use): ARCTIC and ANTARCTIC: Preliminary coordination for main usage applications takes place annually at the POLARSTERN

sediment cores from both polar oceans which were taken by RV Polarstern since 1983. The collection comprises more than 4000 cores from gravity, piston, kastenlot and giant box corers with a total length of more 12000 m as well as samples from multi corers. Polarstern Core Repository We develop the Ocean Data View (ODV) software for the analysis and visualization of marine and other environmental

we had sent the 3rd CoV-2 swab from Las Palmas to Bremerhaven, Polarstern continues its journey southwards. The weather is increasingly summerly. Near the Canary Islands, the thermometer already shows 18

for CoV-2, we moved, according to plan, in two batches to RV Polarstern on December 20. We moved into the chambers, the safety briefing took place in the two groups that were to remain together until

On 7th May the cruise participants were brought on board the Polarstern at anchor offshore by a harbour launch.

southern summer. With only an average 3/10 to 5/10 ice cover, Polarstern easily managed to pass this belt so that we soon arrived at our first station west of Thurston Island to sample marine sediments
