It can also be deflected horizontally [...] with light to moderate sea ice cover. It was used for the first time during the Polarstern PS131 expedition and allowed the collection of valuable data in the marginal ice zone north of Svalbard. Further

summer insolation forces meltwater discharge from the ice sheets into the polar seas which subsequently enhances formation of sea ice during the winter. In the second case, growth of continental ice enhances [...] Heinrich events and their signature in the North Atlantic. Dear Hartmut, we have largely benefited from your unexpected finding of ice rafted debris in the North Atlantic Ocean. It inspired many researchers [...] our section. Go to: Home Research focus Tools Projects Publications Teaching & Outreach Team Deep-sea sediment cores recovered from the Northeast Atlantic Ocean were examined in order to elucidate the

interglacial period when polar surface temperature and global sea level were higher than today. This project aims to quantify processes that lead to sea level rise during climate warming. This requires integrating [...] extremes as well as sea level change for the benefit of society.

After all, their future is on the line. But the changes underway in the High North could also spell danger for other regions around the world – because the thawing soils are releasing
