the Southern Hemisphere apart from the Antarctic in the Earth's history. Researchers from the AlfredWegener Institute have now used a sediment core to demonstrate the climate sensitivity of this ice sheet
much length during the past several decades, it has grown thinner and thinner. A team from the AlfredWegener Institute can now tell us why. By applying a computer-based model, they were able to show that
Trough in the Weddell Sea in Antarctica, reports a modelling study lead by researchers of the AlfredWegener Institute and published in Communications Earth & Environment . This warmer water could lead
the sea and thus also influences global sea levels. An international research team led by the AlfredWegener Institute has now used a new evaluation method for airborne radar measurements to determine the
Georg von Neumayer Station. It is located in the Antarctic near Atka Bay and is operated by the AlfredWegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (AWI). It was inaugurated on February
regions, like jellyfish, arriving in the Arctic. Using DNA metabarcoding, researchers from the AlfredWegener Institute have now been able to prove for the first time that these jellyfish serve as food for
widespread shrimp species. In the journal Science of the Total Environment , the team led by the AlfredWegener Institute warns against false positive results if extraction steps are omitted during sample
