The Archive of the German Polar Research (AdP) of the Alfred Wegener Institute is to be integrated into the Archive Information System of Lower Saxony and Bremen. FIELAX is providing AWI with programming support for the implementation: By the end of the year, all AWI archive records will be transformed into the new format and can then be found on the Arcinsys website. In the new archive system, all archive objects will be organized in a uniform and clear manner and will be easy to find using an online search. We are delighted about the close and successful cooperation with the Alfred Wegener Institute and the Lower Saxony State Archives.

Processing of physical oceanography data of FS ‘Heincke’
The research vessel HEINCKE of the Alfred Wegener Institute is regularly sailing the North Sea and the North Atlantic. Temperature and salinity of the surface seawater is measured continuously during these voyages. FIELAX has been processing these data since 2015. So far, more than 220 voyages (incl. reprocessing of voyages since 2009) could be made available via the data repository Pangaea (https://www.pangaea.de/?q=heincke+tsg+). During Read more
Data Processing
We attend and/or organize survey campaigns to
- acquire and post-process multibeam echosounding data (bathymetry)
- operate oceanographic and hydroacoustic instruments like CTDs or echosounders,
- process, manage and visualize scientific datasets.
Where have you been, Polarstern?
FIELAX/AWI give an answer in a recently published article in Hydrographische Nachrichten (Hydrographic News). It is about 35 years of navigation data history of the German research ice breaker RV "Polarstern". Read more
