Ocean Acoustics For nearly three years, AWI researchers used underwater microphones to monitor the Southern Ocean and listen to a “choir” of whales and seals. The sounds recorded offer new insights
Antarctica When, in the foreseeable future, a tabular iceberg nearly seven times the size of Berlin breaks off the Larsen C Ice Shelf in the Antarctic, it will begin a journey, the course of which climate
frozen the whole year round. In the Northern Hemisphere, these permafrost regions can be found below nearly a quarter of the total surface area. But it’s not likely to stay that way. According to climate models [...] also hope to identify those permafrost regions in which we can expect to see major changes in the near future. They’re the ones we have to keep a close eye on.” INitze_Disturbances_MapAlaska_v01-01.png
