Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research is one of the world leaders in carrying out Arctic research and strongly involved in observational, modelling and process-based studies with the aim to improve knowledge on the impacts of changing permafrost landscapes in the past, present and future.
As an internationally respected centre of expertise on polar and marine research, the Alfred Wegener Institute is one of the very few scientific institutions in the world that are equally active in the Arctic and Antarctic. It coordinates German polar research efforts, while also conducting research in the North Sea and adjacent coastal regions in Germany. Combining innovative approaches, outstanding research infrastructure and years of expertise, the Alfred Wegener Institute explores nearly all aspects of the Earth system – from the atmosphere to the ocean floor. In this regard, initiatives to better grasp the climate-related processes on our planet have increasingly taken centre stage.
