In partnership with Marine Sampling Holland and Wiertsema & Partners, we have broadened our portfolio of HeatFlow measurements. The well proven technology of in-situ measurements of thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and thermal capacity can now be used onshore at practically unlimited depth. Using the drilling technology of Wiertsema & Partners, the system can be brought down to the desired depth and measure these thermal parameters up to 5m downwards. Read more
Elephant and weddell seals in Antarctica have been equipped with satellite transponders for researching their travel and eat behaviour. During such a campaign our client from Alfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung was in the polar regions for several months to equip marine mammals. Meanwhile we continuously retrieved navigation data from those transponders, post-processed data and informed our client in field about the recent state. Read more
Get digital! In the "DigiT" project funded by the 'Europäischer Fonds für regionale Entwicklung' FIELAX and the geo-workgroup from University Bremen developed a method to digitally acquire temperature data from marine sediments. Read more
News from our employee Dr. Christian Mueller, currently supporting the AWI "Polar 6" research aircraft campaign in Antarctica, cited from antarcticstation.org:"On December 20th, while on mission aboard AWI’s Polar 6 aircraft over the Princess Ragnhild Coast, geophysicist Christian Müller from Fielax (a company supporting the survey), looked out of the window of the aircraft and spotted an unusual formation in the ice over the King Baudoin Ice Shelf."Read more at antarcticstation.org or at spiegel.de.
FIELAX developed a software tool called "ADCP-to-DSHIP" that continuously acquires data from a ship-board RDI ADCP and calculates average values to be sended over e. g. to a data acquisition system.The software has been installed on RV "Polarstern" on behalf of Reederei F. Laeisz GmbH. Read more
