Removing Munitions from the Sea for Good Project CAMMera: Methods for Large-Scale Ammunition Clearance From the North Sea to the Pacific Dr. Katrin Kleemann was awarded the prestigious Ritter Memorial Fellowship for the SAM and spent a month conducting research at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. How the wind shapes the waves Groundbreaking measurement method reveals previously hidden interactions between water and air above the ocean The oldest ice core on Earth at the Alfred Wegener Institute As part of the EU-funded Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice project, a research consortium set up a drilling camp on the high plateau in East Antarctica in 2019 Construction start of a new IOW facility for extending the sediment core repository and other storage capacities The construction of a new storage facility for the IOW began today with the traditional ground-breaking ceremony in Rostock’s fishing harbour Journey through space and time The latest Polarstern expedition is off to explore ice floe types from the past, present and future From Kiel to Apenrade and back: On the Trail of Plastic ALKOR expedition AL635 investigates micro- and nanoplastics in the German-Danish coastal region “Shrinking” Cod: How Humans have altered the Genetic Make-Up of Fish Study reveals: Overfishing has left measurable marks in the genome of baltic cod AI to Uncover Marine Enzymes with Transformative Potential The interdisciplinary project AI MareExplore launches at GEOMAR Sea ice plays important role in variability of carbon uptake by Southern Ocean New research reveals the importance of winter sea ice in the year-to-year variability of the amount of atmospheric CO2 absorbed by a region of the Southern Ocean. More weather extremes in Europe during the summer under climate change Due to global warming, the North Atlantic Oscillation, an atmospheric circulation pattern that strongly influences European weather, is becoming more extreme in the summer.
