The diverse research and development activities at FIELAX have been recognized by the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft (https://www.stifterverband.org/) with the seal of approval "Innovative through Research".
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our clients, partners and friends!
We are glad we could support the following projects in 2019:
FIELAX supports the MOSAiC expedition
The MOSAiC expedition (www.mosaic-expedition.org) under the direction of the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) is associated with unprecedented challenges. During the drift experiment, FIELAX supports the research crew on board the German research icebreaker FS Polarstern. 1-2 IT-specialists install and maintain parts of the extensive data management systems and also help to organize and backup all collected data. During the 12-month challenge, personnel, gear, consumables and fuel is replaced regularly. The first rotation currently takes place with help of the Russian icebreaker 'Capitan Dranitsyn'. The picture shows both vessels at their rendezvous.
HeatFlowProbe for University of Tromsø
The University of Tromsø (UiT) is now owner of a HeatFlowProbe manufactured by FIELAX. The picture shows the purchased system secured and ready for its journey.
Temperature Error Estimation (TEEst)
In cooperation with the working group "Mathematical Statistics" of the University of Bremen, the project "Temperature Error Estimation (TEEst)" was launched on 15 May. The components of a sediment-cable temperature model are statistically modeled to arrive at an error estimate for the cable temperature under real conditions. The electric utility companies can then dimension their cables resource-conserving but nevertheless safe. The project is supported by funds from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the state of Bremen.
