… research at its best
"... so that's a true international experience here …" Dr. Thomas Krumpen, Cruise Leader on support vessel Akademik Fedorov.
The MOSAiC expedtion started on Sep 20, 2019 in Tromsø, Norway: https://mosaic-expedition.org/
MOSAiC is the acronym for Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate.
The center builds the research vessel RV Polarstern of the Alfred Wegner Institute. The AWI spearhaeds the largest research expedtion ever. Twenty nations are involved in the expedition.
MOSAiC is a wonderful example of transorganizational cooperation and development. It will last more than one year and explores
Sea ice & snow
Ocean
Atmoshere
Energy, momentum & humidity fluxes
Ecosystem
BGC fluxes (biogeochemistry)
Chemistry
Dynamical coupling

And now a message, one of my students will understand: Pascal, would you consider to travel north instead of going to the Antarctic?
