icebreaker Polarstern will drift through the Arctic Ocean for an entire year. During the MOSAiC expedition, experts from 17 nations will investigate the Central Arctic throughout the year. They will overwinter [...] willing to become trapped in the ice of the Arctic Ocean for an entire year? No other region of the Earth has warmed as rapidly over the past few decades as the Arctic; in essence, it is the epicentre of global [...] climate system. What do you hope to accomplish? The Arctic is closely linked to the weather in our latitudes. We can already see climate changes in the Arctic that are shaping our weather and climate. And at

However, jellyfish in the world’s oceans could actually benefit from the rising water temperatures – also and especially in the Arctic Ocean, as researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute [...] Institute have now successfully shown. In computer models, they exposed eight widespread Arctic jellyfish species to rising temperatures, sea ice retreat and other changing environmental conditions. The result: [...] triple the size of its habitat – with potentially dramatic consequences for the marine food web and Arctic fish populations. The study was just released in the journal Limnology and Oceanography.
