The individual water masses of the Southern Ocean can be easily distinguished on the basis of their physical properties [...] from the surface to the sea floor. This sampling at regular intervals is an important tool in physical and chemical oceanography to determine the circulation of the oceans on the one hand and the dissolved [...] dissolved concentrations of individual elements on the other. In this part of the Southern Ocean, such a comprehensive chemical sampling of the water column has never been carried out before. We are looking

The glaciers at the edge of the inland ice are particularly affected [...] bottom of the glacier to melt at a high rate. As part of my PhD thesis, I have been examining the question of how this warm Atlantic water is transported from the Fram Strait to the 79°North Glacier. But

different types of killer whales live in the Southern Ocean. They are known to differ in feeding ecology and appearance. However, little is known about the distribution and behaviour of these different [...] whale ecotypes. To answer these questions, scientists monitor the whales’ communication with specific underwater sound recorders. However, so far nobody knew, which calls the different ecotypes are using
