From the Atlantic to FYORD
17.03.2023/Kiel. Weeks full of new intensive experiences lie behind the students of the “Floating University” on board research vessel POLARSTERN led by Dr Björn Fiedler from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. As part of the international Master's programme “Climate Change and Marine Sciences”, the eleven young marine researchers from West Africa learned classical oceanographic methods at sea. After their journey, they exchanged views with participants of the Foster Young Ocean Researcher Development (FYORD) programme from Kiel University und GEOMAR on their experiences and on urgent research questions in West Africa.
