Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research - Research Unit
Potsdam
The Research Unit Potsdam began works in 1992. The main fields of
research of the Potsdam Research Unit are terrestrial
geoscience studies in the periglacial regions at the margins of inland
ice sheets and in permafrost areas as well as model and experimental investigations
of atmospheric
processes in the polar regions. These studies complete the programme
of the Alfred Wegener Institute
in Bremerhaven, which is mainly concerned with marine studies and ice-core
drilling. In particular, the polar researchers at Potsdam concentrate on
the Arctic realm, the key to an understanding of European climate.
