FRAM (Frontiers in Arctic Marine Monitoring) The development of a standardized molecular observation strategy [...] marine eukaryotic microbes is tightly linked and directly contributes to the establishment of the FRAM microbial observatory that aims to monitor and understand how ongoing environmental changes affect [...] microbial communities and how these changes will alter their role in global element cycling. Within FRAM our group carries out all research related to the development, evaluation and standardization of molecular

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

Alfred-Wegener-Institut) If we can realistically simulate the past and present processes at work in the Fram Strait, we can then calculate projections for the future. I work with FESOM, the Finite Element Sea [...] ocean currents, hydrography and sea ice. I’m currently using FESOM to simulate the circulation in the Fram Strait, which is located between Greenland and Svalbard and represents one of the most important

The analyses of living and dead foraminifera in the "Hausgarten" area will contribute to the modern data Set to allow for palaeoproductivity reconstructions in northern Fram Strait [...] avait recupere un engin largue par le "Polarstern" quelques semaines auparavant dans le detroit de Fram.
