Marine Pollution Working in the Arctic Fram Strait, scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) have found microplastic throughout the water column [...] explanation for this high level of pollution. According to their findings, the two main ocean currents in Fram Strait transport the microscopically small plastic particles into the region between Greenland and
Helmholtz Infrastructure Initiative FRAM ( Fr ontiers in A rctic Marine M onitoring). The long-term observatory Hausgarten is a network of twenty stations in the Fram Strait, whose coordinates are re-visited
Research (AWI) laid the “foundation stone” for a unique long-term observatory in the partly ice-covered Fram Strait between Greenland and Svalbard, which they call their HAUSGARTEN. The deep-sea observatory

deployed. We also took many water 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
- Wochenbericht Nr. 3 | 7. - 13. 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
October 2016 During the sixth week of expedition PS101 we are making our way home through the ice. A FRAM “superbuoy” station needs to be rescued before we leave the ice.
4 September 2016 Today we have 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
oceanographic, biological and biogeochemical workload planned along the zonal transect through central Fram Strait along 78°50’N. Subsequently we added to the mooring array deployed along the Greenwich Meridian
