Özgür Dr. Laurent Oziel Postdoc I monitor physical changes in the Arctic environment (Ocean currents, water masses, mesoscale features, mixing, sea ice…) and study their impacts on phytoplankton dynamics [...] the BMBF nuArctic projects. nuArctic investigates nutrient remineralization combining modelling experiments with observations from the MOSAiC expedition [...] examined the decadal variability of the carbon cycle in the Indian Ocean region. For the Ph.D. I am doing Ocean Biogeochemical Modeling for Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement in deep and bottom water formation

‚FESOM-REcoM‘ and investigated its role in the fastest changing ocean in climate change, the Arctic Ocean. This research is continued as part of my PhD project, where I am investigating new arising habitats and carbon pathways in the future Arctic Ocean. Tanvi Nagwekar (PhD Student) I have a bachelor with Physics major and a master degree in Atmospheric Sciences. For my master [...] and provide a robust quantification of the coastal and open ocean carbon sink. Dr. Miriam Seifert (Postdoc) With a Master’s degree in marine biology and several field trips to the Arctic, I entered

deep sea has started to increase and today we know that the deep ocean on planet Earth hosts an enormous diverse deep-seabed life. Biodiversity in the deep sea depends among other parameters on water [...] rate of recent climate change challenges the resilience of Arctic life. The entire system is likely to be severely affected by changing ice and water conditions, varying primary production and food [...] transition zone between the northern North Atlantic and the central Arctic Ocean, and to determine the factors controlling deep-sea biodiversity, the Alfred Wegener Institute established the LTER (Long-Term

and AWI-ESM to analyze how wave-driven mixing in the warming Arctic affects the ocean state and dynamics and test whether there indeed is a positive feedback loop between sea ice melt on the one hand [...] other hand. Lastly, we will explore how these changes within the Arctic affect processes beyond, like deep-water formation and overturning in the (North) Atlantic Ocean.

daily temperature measurements at our 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 Arctic Oceans, as well as the data supplied by various satellites, without which modern climate research would be practically impossible. Whether for the ocean, ice, atmosphere or land: our efforts provide reliable data that is absolutely essential for the validation of our climate models

tightly coupled to the global circulation of the atmosphere and the ocean. The climate of the Arctic is subject to visible changes and the sea-ice albedo feedback mechanism acts as an amplifier of climate change. The observed decrease of Arctic summer sea ice cover over the last decades is best viewed as a combination of strong natural variability due to large-scale dynamics [...] aerosols in the Arctic and its role for climate change. Processes in polar regions, connected with a variety of feedbacks, including cloud-, aerosol-,

We test those parameterizations in regional sea ice ocean models such as NAOSIM ( Köberle and Gerdes, 2003 ) and an Arctic model set-up of the MITgcm ( Castro-Morales et al., 2014 ). After
