AWI

The Alfred Wegener Institute carries out research in the Arctic and Antarctic as well as in the high and mid latitude oceans. The institute coordinates German polar research and makes available to national and international science important infrastructure, e.g. the research icebreaker “Polarstern” and research stations in the Arctic and Antarctic.

With these groups we have a collaboration in science and teaching:

Alfred-Wegener-Institut (AWI), Prof. Dr. Astrid Bracher

PHYTOOPTICS: Ocean optics to identify and measure marine phytoplankton and other water constituents

Alfred-Wegener-Institut (AWI), Prof. Dr. Thorsten Kanzow

Physical oceanography of polar seas
