To the locations overviewAs a Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, the Alfred Wegener Institute works primarily in the cold and temperate regions of the world. Together with numerous national and international partners, we are involved in deciphering the complex processes in the “Earth system.” Our planet is undergoing profound climate change. The polar regions and oceans are changing. At the same time, they play a central role in the global climate system. How will planet Earth continue to develop? Are we observing short-term fluctuations or long-term trends? Polar and marine research has always been a fascinating scientific challenge. Today, it is also a piece of future research.
