The Polarstern spent 389 days drifting through the Arctic trapped in ice.
The team of several hundred scientists from 20 countries have seen for themselves the dramatic effects of global warming on ice in the region, considered “the epicentre of climate change”, according to mission leader Markus Rex.“We saw this process right outside our windows, or when we walked on the brittle ice.”
The Polarstern mission, dubbed Mosaic, spent over a year collecting data on the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice and ecosystems to help assess the impact of climate change on the region and the world. The €140 million expedition is also bringing back 150 terabytes of data and more than 1,000 ice samples.The team measured more than 100 parameters almost continuously throughout the year and are hoping the information will provide a “breakthrough in understanding the Arctic and climate system”, he said.
