UNDERWATER ELDORADO
Be it for e-cars, smartphones or wind turbines: high-tech metals like cobalt and copper are in increasing demand. In the near future, they could be mined at the sea floor. But researchers warn of the damage to the deep-sea ecosystem.

77,5° NORTH
The Greenland ice sheet is melting and releases huge quantities of fresh water into the ocean - with impacts the circulation in the Atlantic. A team of researchers on board research vessel Maria S. Merian is tracking the meltwater off the east coast of Greenland.

A DEfiant Wonder
Around the globe, oceanic heatwaves are increasingly leading to coral bleaching and threatening the future of reefs. In the Red Sea, however, corals are proving to be extremely resilient to rising sea water temperatures.

Millions of Litres of Poison
In 2010, the worst oil spill of all times occurred off the coast of Louisiana following the sinking of the drilling platform Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico. Where did the leaked oil go? And, how well has the environment recovered ten years after the disaster?

SNOWFALLS IN THE OCEAN
Dead algae and zooplankton remains sink to the bottom of the oceans as marine snow, exporting large amounts of CO2 to the deep sea. In the Fram Strait between Greenland and Svalbard, scientists study the consequences of Arctic sea ice retreat for marine snowfalls.

WHAT BLOOMS ON THE GLACIERS
The margins of the Greenland ice sheet are darkening as ice algae are conquering the glaciers. As a result, the ice absorbs more solar radiation and melts ever faster. In the south of the island, an expedition is investigating the phenomenon.
Die Zeit
Nodule FEVER
Companies could soon start mining minerals at the sea floor. The technology is already being tested. In the tropical Pacific, a European research project is investigating the damage caused by mining in the deep sea and how long it would take the species-rich fauna to recover.

POLARSTERN - Research in the ICE
A book for readers young and old about the polar regions and the adventurous expeditions of the icebreaker Polarstern in the ice-covered seas of the Arctic and Antarctic.

THREATENED BARRIER IN ANTARCTICA
Ice shelves are the floating extensions of glaciers and slow the flow of glacial ice into the ocean. In the Antarctic Weddell Sea, a team of researchers is investigating whether warm deep water is threatening the world's thickest ice shelf and could cause sea levels to rise further.

A VOYAGE INTO A VANISHING WORLD BENEATH THE ARCTIC ICE
Arctic sea ice is disappearing rapidly. During an expedition to the North Pole with the German icebreaker Polarstern, a team of scientists wants to find out, what the loss of sea ice means for life in the Arctic Ocean.
The Guardian
Underneath the FLoes
Below the Arctic sea ice, from the sea surface to the deep sea, the water is teeming with small crustaceans, iridescent jellyfish and winged snails. A researcher collects zooplankton in the icy ocean using a diving robot and a broom net to better understand the consequences of sea ice decline for the marine food web.
Science Notes
Among Tigers
Sharks are highly endangered, with over 100 million animals dying every year as bycatch or as a result of targeted fisheries. A discovery in the waters of the Maldives could help protect one of the largest predators in the ocean: tiger sharks.

Thaw on Disko Island
The Arctic permafrost is thawing. This makes huge amounts of fossil carbon accessible, which microbes convert into CO2 and methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas. On Greenland's Disko Island, researchers are investigating how much greenhouse gases are escaping from the increasingly warm soil.
Greenpeace Magazine
Philosophers Stones
To limit global warming to two degrees Celsius, not only must CO2 emissions be drastically reduced, but vast amounts of CO2 must also be removed from the atmosphere. By adding alkaline rock flour, the oceans could store more CO2. In a large-scale experiment, researchers are studying the consequences for the marine ecosystem.
