Willkommen zu Hause! ⚓❤️

Unser Forschungseisbrecher #Polarstern ist heute Morgen in seinen Heimathafen #Bremerhaven zurückgekehrt. Nach gut 20 Wochen in der #Antarktis machte das Forschungsschiff an der Pier im Überseehafen fest. In den kommenden sechs Wochen finden routinemäßige Wartungs- und Reparaturarbeiten in der Lloyd Werft statt, bevor es Ende Mai in die #Arktis geht.

All Aboard for the Third “Floating University” 🎓🌊

This week, the German research vessel #POLARSTERN sets sail from the subtropical Mindelo, Cabo Verde, on a special expedition.

On board are 13 Master’s students from West Africa, who will experience marine research at first hand during the two-week voyage to Bremerhaven, Germany.

The new ship
Frigid temperatures, dense sea ice, and beneath you, oceans thousands of metres deep and teeming with life, and lower still, a seafloor that holds information on the geological history of our planet: that’s where the new icebreaker will be underway. As one of the world’s foremost research platforms and the flagship of German climate research, the #Polarstern is the gateway to the Arctic and Antarctic.

As one of the world’s foremost research platforms and the flagship of German climate research, the Polarstern is the gateway to the Arctic and Antarctic. Polarstern will give researchers the opportunity to gain insights into the research on biodiversity and the progressing climate change.Polarstern will give researchers the opportunity to gain insights into the research on biodiversity and the progressing climate change.
Flexible research platform The ship is home to all marine sciences: from geology and geophysics to biology, oceanography, sea-ice and atmospheric research. Here, up to 90 scientific expedition participants and 50 crewmembers can find accommodation. The new Polarstern will offer them a safe haven for investigating Earth’s fascinating polar regions and will be equipped with a range of laboratories and fixed systems, from multibeam echosounders to sensors for meteorological observations, to digital infrastructure. Armed with this equipment and resources, the new Polarstern, just as her predecessor, will be able to operate year-round in the Arctic and Antarctic and gather data on those regions of our planet hardest-hit by climate change. After all, what happens in the polar regions affects us all: global ocean currents are changing,
along with atmospheric circulation patterns, which affect the weather around the globe. The oceans offer a vital food source and carbon dioxide sink, room for rest and recreation, valuable minerals and natural resources, and open global transport routes. These services are now in jeopardy. The new Polarstern will give researchers from around the world the opportunity to gain critical insights into the progressing climate change our planet is experiencing, especially in the polar regions. Society urgently needs this type of knowledge so as to make the right choices regarding climate protection, environmental protection and nature conservation – for the future of the polar regions, for biodiversity on land and at sea, and for the generations to follow.

Unsere #Polarstern wird bald von einem neuen Forschungseisbrecher abgelöst.🚢 Das #AWI hat heute den Auftrag für den Neubau vergeben.

Die neue Polarstern wird mit modernster Technik und einem nachhaltigen Methanolantrieb 🌱 ausgestattet. Sie wird weltweit unter anspruchsvollsten Eis- und Wetterbedingungen 🌨️ einsatzfähig sein.

thyssenkrupp Marine Systems wird das Schiff in Wismar bauen und 2030 an die Wissenschaft übergeben.

🚢 Eines der modernsten Forschungsschiffe weltweit: Das wird die #POLARSTERN II des @awi. Damit investiert das BMBF weiter in eine der modernsten Forschungsinfrastrukturen für eine nachhaltige, moderne und umweltschonende #Meeresforschung und #Polarforschung.

Sie wird zu präziseren #Klimamodellen beitragen. „Auf diese Forschungsergebnisse können wir nicht verzichten“, sagt Bundesforschungsminister Cem Özdemir.
