Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) and with participation of scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute has now studied the quantity of heat stored on land, showing the distribution of land

the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. The study was prepared by Dr Frank Lamy, a geoscientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, together with researchers from Chile

latest issue of the journal Nature, is the result of long-term research by scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute and the MARUM. With a detailed analysis of the composition of marine deposits, the

core analyses and highly developed climate models, an international research team involving the Alfred Wegener Institute has now been able to fill this knowledge gap. This is important to better understand

to 2015 compared to previously calculated 253 Gt per year. Ingo Sasgen and Veit Helm from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research as well as Kevin Fleming from the GFZ
