We finished our scientific program in the western Fram-Strait at the East-Greenland slope and went back to our main research area of the long-term observatory

In the future, the observation strategy for Arctic marine microbes will [...] implemented as a distributed Molecular Microbial Observatory in the framework of the Arctic observatory FRAM (Frontiers in Arctic Monitoring) and contributes to the ATLANTOS strategy for an integrated Atlantic

FRAM (Frontiers in Arctic Marine Monitoring) The development of a standardized molecular observation strategy [...] marine eukaryotic microbes is tightly linked and directly contributes to the establishment of the FRAM microbial observatory that aims to monitor and understand how ongoing environmental changes affect [...] microbial communities and how these changes will alter their role in global element cycling. Within FRAM our group carries out all research related to the development, evaluation and standardization of molecular

research stations in the Arctic and Antarctic, monitoring ocean currents at our deep-sea moorings in the Fram Strait and the Weddell Sea, and the data from our sea-ice buoys drifting through the Antarctic and

Alfred-Wegener-Institut) If we can realistically simulate the past and present processes at work in the Fram Strait, we can then calculate projections for the future. I work with FESOM, the Finite Element Sea [...] ocean currents, hydrography and sea ice. I’m currently using FESOM to simulate the circulation in the Fram Strait, which is located between Greenland and Svalbard and represents one of the most important

deployed. We also took many water and sediment samples and videos which are part of the work of the FRAM infrastructure. This has kept many of us busy, but also happy with the success. We will tell you more
