211. Ia: Atlantic Meridional Ocean Current (AMOC)

Gerrit LOHMANN

13/11/2024, 15:30

The Atlantic Meridional Ocean Current (AMOC) transports vast amounts of warm water to the North Atlantic, where it cools, sinks, and changes direction, flowing through the mid-Atlantic and into the Southern Atlantic Ocean. This heat release prevents ice from forming in Northern Europe. However, global warming is decreasing the current's density and salinity, which in turn reduces its cooling,...

212. Ib: MEETING POINT 15:20 MAIN ENTRANCE - Biology-aerosol-cloud-climate linkages, their importance, what we know and don't know about these and how we can better understand them.

Felix PITHAN

13/11/2024, 15:30

Biology-aerosol-cloud-climate linkages -
Aerosol particles in the atmosphere can affect regional and global climate as they interact with radiation and promote the formation of water droplets and ice crystals in clouds. Besides anthropogenic pollution, evaporation of sea spray and biological activity contribute to aerosol formation. The loss of summer sea ice will have tremendous effects on...

213. Ic: FutureNow! Metropolregion Nordwest - Knowledge transfer to society

Björn SUCKOW

13/11/2024, 15:30

In our project FutureNow! we are developing formats for knowledge transfer to society. Anybody from AWI can participate in our actions and many have already. We take away the hassle of organizing events and locations, provide material and presentations to make it as easy as possible for anyone interested to engage in science communication. During this session I will introduce you to our...

174. Id: Forschungsförderung/Research funding Group

Nancy LANGE

13/11/2024, 15:30

The Research Support department offers a wide range of services surrounding third party funding. In our break-out session we would like to introduce the set-up of our department and the services we offer. We will give a short overview on funding possibilities and explain the ‘How to’ and ‘Why’ of the famous AWI Laufzettel. Everyone is welcome to join and to bring along any questions they may...

43. Ie: Incubator Information & Data Science: Five Platforms and Beyond

David KLEINHANS

13/11/2024, 15:30

In 2016 the Helmholtz Incubator Information & Data Science was established in order to strengthen Information and Data Science as a whole for Helmholtz. From this initiative five priority fields and later in 2019 five platforms with overarching topics and services were established: federated IT services (HIFIS), artificial intelligence (AI), standardization of metadata and data structures...

167. If: FRAM/HAUSGARTEN - Recent findings, current status and future perspectives

Katja METFIES

13/11/2024, 15:30

FRAM and LTER HAUSGARTEN are sucessful flagship-projects of Topic 6 and 2, with a long-term perspective. The intention of this breakout session is to summarize the current status and findings for the evaluation, and to review the strategy (scientific and logistical) for the continuation of the long-term observatory beyond POF-IV.

217. Ig: In between a rock and a hard place: finding the balance between the increase of knowledge and its application, especially in the context of the new goals of the ministry

Maarten BOERSMA

13/11/2024, 15:30

The current strategy paper for POF V focuses in combination with the Research goals of the Federal Ministry for Education and Science, and the mission of the Helmholtz Society all are very much directed towards application of scientific results for the benefit of society. Where we all agree that this is of course very necessary, there is a certain risk that this will create tension between the...

50. Ih: Supporting our Supporters

Susanne GATTI

13/11/2024, 15:30

Many of you support our Early Career Researchers. PhD candidates are being supervised, postdocs get guidance and input for their further career development. While AWIs programs for our ECRs are well known POLMAR and PROCEED are often being asked: "And what do you do for us - the PIs?" In this breakout session we would like to collect more information about your needs and learn how we can...

221. Ii: Environmental OMICS and Pathogens: a future initiative

Simeon LISOVSKI, Ulrike HERZSCHUH (Alfred Wegener Institute), Kathleen STOOF-LEICHSENRING

13/11/2024, 15:30

The biodiversity and climate crises are driving the emergence of novel pathogens, which are spreading across broader geographical areas and posing serious threats to ecosystems and human societies.
To identify, understand, and predict these emerging health risks, we propose investing in state-of-the-art research infrastructure that utilizes environmental OMICS to trace pathogen distributions...

44. Ia: Globus

Gerrit LOHMANN (AWI)

168. Id: Open Science

Andreas WALKER (AWI)

169. Ie: Land-ocean reseach in the Mackenzie/Beaufort Sea region

Gesine MOLLENHAUER

In this breakout session, I propose to discuss ideas for research projects connecting the land-ocean conitnuum in the Mackenzie/Beaufort Sea region, including a potential Polarstern cruise to the region in 2027 or 28 and collaborative ties to Canadian colleagues.

41. If: The key to good data science lies in data workflows, standards and data infrastructure.

Angela SCHAEFER

How can we integrate and establish standardised data workflows for processing and managing data to enhance data science within POF? How can we provide adequate time, sustainable resources and expertise for this, both individually and as a research community?

171. Ig: Forecast sensitivity to observation (FSO)

Changliang SHAO

Forecast sensitivity to observations can be used as a diagnostic tool to monitor the observation impact on the quality of the mesoscale forecasts, and also to give suggestion and evaluation on weather station network layout.

172. Ig: Polar and High Altitude Cryosphere and Carbon InterActions (PHACCIA)

Claire TREAT

This breakout session will identify and connect AWI researchers who are working on carbon-cryosphere interactions in the polar regions in support of the Carbon-Cycle CTA. We welcome participants focused on carbon cycling or cryosphere processes that are relevant for carbon cycle to join us to find common research themes, complementary methods, and additional expertise.

52. Ii: AWI Elements "Consultation Hour"

Andreas STARMANS

Since November 2022 the new research information system “AWI Elements” is available to all AWI staff (https://elements.awi.de). AWI Elements offers scientists a variety of options for collecting, documenting and consolidating research information.
In this breakout session we will introduce the basic features of AWI Elements and give practical advice on how to fill your scientific profile...
