German Federal Minister of Education and Research Bettina Stark-Watzinger christened the Alfred Wegener Institute’s new research vessel Uthörn at the Fassmer shipyards in Berne. The new ship, measuring

40th anniversary of the documentary series “Terra X”. Prof. Antje Boetius, director of the Alfred Wegener Institute, gives an overview of Australia and Oceania.

Antarctic krill. The journal Science dedicates an editorial by Bettina Meyer, biologist at the Alfred Wegener Institute, and her colleague So Kawaguchi from the Australian Antarctic Division to this topic in

board the research vessel Skagerak. Ellen Damm, Samuel Sellmaier and Volkmar Assmann from the Alfred Wegener Institute were on board to determine how much of the methane released was still in the waters of

unique species and assessing their extinction risk. The research led by scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute and the University of East Anglia is now published in PLOS Biology, futher informations

Arctic Circle Prize
The Alfred Wegener Institute and the MOSAiC research expedition were awarded the Arctic Circle Prize on Saturday, 15 October 2022 in Reykjavik. With the prize, the international

permafrost, we still know comparatively little about nitrogen. A team of experts led by the Alfred Wegener Institute has now determined the size of the nitrogen reservoir and calculated how much of it could

with the atmosphere, and the transport of nutrients. In a new study, a research team led by Alfred Wegener Institute scientists investigated what long-term impact anthropogenic climate change will have on

measurement modes, and observation timings along one transect over one seasonal cycle. (Photo: Alfred-Wegener-Institut) Our protocol addresses the need for consistent collection and integration of data from
