From ‘coccos’ to climate change: The tools we use to uncover the history of our planet (English]
In a previous blog “Looking into the past to learn about the future” (Read this one first if you haven’t!), you learned why it is important for scientists to study climates of the past, and the significance of our coring locations in the North Pacific Ocean. In other blog entries, you read about the instruments […]
Finding the missing piece (English/Deutsch)
The Sonne cruise 264 focuses on geological topics, but there is still room for other scientific endeavours like Hydrography. Hydrography in this case is used to explore the seafloor’s surface below the deep sea. The ocean floor has a certain landscape or topography like dry land, which is, however, hidden under vast masses of water. […]
The plankton are calling… (English/Deutsch)

Biscuits from the ocean (English/Deutsch)
Halftime! We have been on the deep-sea research ship Sonne for a month now and even though the initial excitement of the expedition has slowly eased, it has not yet become boring for me in any way. I am the youngest participant on board and this is not only my first scientific voyage, but also […]
Looking into the past to learn about the future (English)
Why do we send a ship with 70 people aboard to the middle of the North Pacific? The main aim of cruise SO264 is to learn about the paleoceanography (oceanic properties and circulation of the past) and the paleoclimatology (climatic parameters and patterns of the past) of the Northwest Pacific. While learning about the climate […]
