For the Alfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung we developed a web-based platform for a unified naming of scientific device types used on German research vessels. Device types may be added and updated, may be reviewed and applied by curators and finally downloaded as XML lists from the research vessels themselves for speaking a unique "language". The project was implemented with the PHP Symfony framework and MySQL database.
In heavy seastate we attended Polarstern cruise ANT-29/8 to the southwest-indian ridge for acquiring sub-bottom sonar data as well as creation of data and maps.
Within a project about heating of marine sediments (MoniTherm, co-financed by the 'Europäischer Fonds für regionale Entwicklung'), FIELAX has developed a full model for the temperature field in and around submarine power cables. Read more
The German research vessel "Polarstern" is an important instrument of the German polar and marine research. The ship has an own data centre, a complex IT infrastructure and hundreds of scientific sensors which were maintained and supervised by seagoing FIELAX personnel throughout the years 2002 to 2013.
