Das Open Ship auf dem Forschungsschiff ALKOR ist für uns traditioneller Höhepunkt und (fast) auch Schlusspunkt der Kieler Woche. Und auch heute haben wieder zahlreiche Besucherinnen und Besucher die Gelegenheit genutzt, um sich das Schiff anzusehen, sein Arbeitsdeck und die Brücke zu erkunden, um uns Löcher in den Bauch zu fragen (gut so!) oder einfach […]

Die erste Hälfte der Kieler Woche 2018 ist geschafft. Das Wetter war Kieler-Woche-mäßig durchwachsen (also alles wie gewohnt), unsere Vorträge waren bisher gut besucht, ebenso der “Ozean der Zukunft” Stand im Zelt “kieler uni live” und der GAME-Stand zum Thema “Plastik im Meer” im “Klimaschutzstadt Kiel Infozelt”. Doch immer wieder werde ich gefragt, wo in […]

Jan Dierking: I am a scientist (relying on 3rd party […]
Latitude: 38.872°S Longitude: 178.940°E Days at sea: 40 The last week on the JOIDES Resolution was very exciting! Another storm hit us with wave heights up to 4.3 m. This meant we had to stop our operations and were “WOWing” (waiting on weather) again. While, usually, this is a time we mostly spend writing […]

Latitude: 34.882°S Longitude: 179.068°E Days at Sea: 32 In the last post, Karen mentioned the term ‚WOWing‘. The term is actually an abbreviation for ‘Waiting-On-Weather’ and means that the weather and/or the seas are too rough to continue with our operations. This happened already a few times during our Expedition, the last time on Thursday. […]
Find a list of the projects media coverage. Obviously, I couldn’t compete with the media speed. So, I was not able to gather all articles and videos yet but it is already fascinating what we achieved within the last months – stay tuned. TV: PS-Reportage: Road to Alicante NBC 10 News Sunrise Monday 14th of […]
May 27, 2018 Latitude: 34° 52.52’S Longitude: 179°03.52’E Days at sea: 19 Let’s follow a core that gets on deck of the JOIDES Resolution. It has to endure a lot of procedures before it is allowed to relax in its d-tube, where it waits for shipping to the storage facility in Japan. After the core […]
Latitude: 34.882º S Longitude: 179.068º E Days at sea: 12 The last few days were quite successful. We managed to drill more than 200 metres into the northwestern rim of the Brothers caldera and retrieved some wonderful cores. Fresh lava for us igneous petrologists and vocanologists, altered rocks for our alteration specialists and sulphides for […]
