Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research

The Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) is a research institution in Germany dedicated to studying the Earth's polar regions and oceans. It investigates climate change, marine ecosystems, and ice dynamics to understand how these environments influence global weather and climate patterns. Using ships, satellites, and icebreakers, AWI collects data to improve scientific knowledge, support sustainable management of polar regions, and inform policies related to climate change. Its work is vital for understanding environmental changes in some of the planet's most sensitive and influential areas.
