Yes, a marine or climate science related topic.

The grant covers the travel cost to the pre-cruise workshop in Punta Arenas and the travel cost to the departure port Stanley, the accommodation on board (including meals), the accommodation (about one night depending on the flight schedule) in arrival port Bremerhaven and the return flight back home. Visa, travel to the starting (home airport), insurance or “pocket money” etc. won’t be reimbursed.

The workshop will be in Punta Arenas (Chile). The departure port wil be Stanley (Falklands). The arrival port will be Bremerhaven (Germany).

The scholars will learn to sample in a professional environment and conduct deep cast with the CTD and a water rosette and XBt, as well as en-route sampling. The samples will be processed with an emphasis on nutrients, salinity, micro plastics and molecular methods. En-route methods will be micro plastic sampling, water vapour sampling, XBt data. The scholars will be involved in outreach activities.

The scholars will have an all-day training 27 days on board, in the evening there will be daily meeting with talks and presentations. When sampling events are during night time, night shifts are requested. At the end of the cruise each scholar will contribute to the cruise report by writing small projects.

No, the training and sampling units are set and prepared.

No, there emphasis is on “blue” water. There will be no geophysical studies carried out.

Yes, please.
