a seismic station on sea ice Seismic station installed on drifting sea ice In the ice-covered Arctic Ocean we also use seismic land stations deployed on drifting ice floes to record small earthquakes.

European coastline. The project belongs to the EU Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters, and is a member of the Lighthouse for the Arctic and Atlantic Basin. Innovative solutions for marine restoration will [...] will be demonstrated in five different environments across a latitudinal gradient, from the high-Arctic Svalbard at 79°N to the Madeira archipelago at 33°N. CLIMAREST will be developed on a latitudinal gradient

in various ways for many similar types of sensors utilized in ocean sciences, including a drogue to make the surface unit drift with the ocean currents and less with the wind. Our main application is to [...] platforms to obtain time series data throughout all seasons from the very remote regions in the Arctic and Antarctic. Our autonomous platforms, or more generally speaking ‘ice tethered platforms’, are [...] airborne campaigns and leave them behind to continue monitoring the atmosphere, snow, sea ice, and upper ocean. Often, we simply call them ‘buoys’ although most of these systems are not able to float and depend

With our model we investigate interactions between permafrost, vegetation, snow, lakes, and the Arctic ocean. Furthermore, we use our models to gain insights into important ecosystem functions such as the [...] climatic conditions. The models allow us to investigate impactsof past and future climate changes in the Arctic. Since permafrost is usually not visible at the earth’s surface and only few measurement sites exist [...] current state of permafrost. Furthermore, permafrost models give us insights into the evolution of Arctic landscapes and help us understand how these unique ecosystems respond to natural and human-caused

For the past 25 years, the Alfred Wegener Institute has operated a long-term observatory in the Arctic deep sea: the HAUSGARTEN. Located between Greenland and Svalbard, it is where researchers investigate [...] investigate natural and climate-change-related changes in a polar, marine ecosystem – from the ocean’s surface to the seafloor, 5,500 metres below. Many of the observatory’s stations are located below the sea
