MOSAiC Arctic Research Expedition 2019-2020 (English version)

A short documentary about the life on board, the fieldwork on the ice and the goals of the biggest research expedition in the Central Arctic. It can especially be used in schools. 


MOSAiC - Forschungsexpedition in die Arktis 2019-2020

Als Lehrerin habe ich die MOSAiC-Expedition (2019-2020) in die Zentrale Arktis für sechs Wochen begleitet, um davon in Schulen und Unterrichtsmaterial zu berichten. Wie wirkt sich der Klimawandel auf die Arktis aus? Wie erforscht man ein solches Gebiet? Wie lebt man auf einem Forschungsschiff? In dem Film beantworte ich möglichst viele Fragen, die sich für mich und meine Schüler*innen ergeben haben. Der Film gibt einen Einblick in die MOSAiC-Expedition, aber auch Forschungsexpeditionen allgemein.

This week: With the research camp infrastructure in place, MOSAiC teams are busy transporting their instruments and equipment back onto the ice. Also, can you make ice cream in the Arctic? How about in a Ziploc bag in your home? Finally: Educators, incorporate more math into your classrooms with MOSAiC Math problems. Photo credit: Lianna Nixon, CIRES
