Permafrost models provide information on ground temperatures [...] sheet of paper and as complex as rocket science using super computers to obtain results. At the Alfred-Wegener-Institute we mainly work with so called transient permafrost models that aim to represent all

Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology with the participation of the Alfred Wegener Institute have discovered a new partnership between a marine diatom and a bacterium that can

Over the past three years the collaborative research project APOC, led by the Alfred Wegener Institute, has investigated how climate change and anthropogenic activities and pressure impact the carbon cycle
