Only few fishing and research ships venture into the Southern

investigating the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems in polar regions, addressing crucial questions about biodiversity, ecosystem shifts, [...] the evolving dynamics of the ocean, atmosphere, sea ice, and ice sheets. At the same time, we push the boundaries of climate modeling – one of our key strengths – by developing, refining, and validating regional and global coupled climate models, harnessing the power of

as well as to models that focus on specific regions of the world. An increasing number of measurement data, advances in the understanding of climate physics and new powerful supercomputers [...] have meanwhile been downloaded thousands of times from the corresponding database. The second area is about the concrete application of the models for climate change predictions. Our key questions are: What possible changes will climate change bring for the polar regions, the mid-latitudes and the rest of the world? What

Due to its high salinity, the Southern Ocean’s water doesn’t freeze at zero degrees Celsius, [...] peaceful and above all scientific purposes. This regulation forms the basis for protecting the ice world at the southern end of the planet. And in 1991, the signatories ratified the Protocol on Environmental

This assessment was also the basis for the [...] data on the question of to what extent the weather is due to climate change. Researchers can do so thanks to a new “storyline approach”, which

Looking beyond Iron: Dynamics of vitamins, zinc and cobalt and their effect on phytoplankton community composition in a changing Southern Ocean In large areas of the worlds oceans iron (Fe) limits primary production thus affecting the global carbon cycle. One such area is the Southern Ocean (SO). In [...] and vitamins will better elucidate the cycling of these micronutrients in the SO. In order to gain a better understanding of the physiological responses of phytoplankton
