End of Greenpeace Arctic Tour 2010 `Arctic under Pressure´ in Svalbard - Web Video 6/6

July 2010: Greenpeace ship `Esperanza´ is back in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. Having started from Kiel on May 14 climate and marine life experts from Greenpeace together with scientists of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Science (Leibniz-Institut für Meereswissenschaften / IFM GEOMAR) investigate and document the key threats to the fragile environment of the Arctic: Ocean acidification, the retreat of the Arctic sea ice and Greenland's glaciers as well as the uncontrolled exploitation of fish stock by the fishing industry's northward race due to climate change.
Film focusses on the phenomenon of ocean acidification, the scientists of the GEOMAR have been looking into during the past weeks. To this purpose nine giant test tubes socalled mesocoms, were lowered into the Arctic water to study the effect of global CO2 (carbon dioxid / Kohlendioxid) pollution on the marine environment.
Scientific research director of the expedition Prof. Ulf Riebesell from GEOMAR explains the results.

Ende der Arktis-Tour 2010 `Arktis im Visier´, Spitzbergen - Webvideo

Juli 2010: Das Greenpeace-Schiff `Esperanza' ist zurück in Ny-Ålesund, Spitzbergen. Nach dem Start in Kiel am 14. Mai untersuchten und dokumentieren Klima- und Meeresexperten von Greenpeace gemeinsam mit Wissenschaftlern des Leibniz-Instituts für Meereswissenschaften (IFM GEOMAR) die Folgen des Klimawandels die Arktis: Die Versauerung der Ozeane, der Rückzug des arktischen Meereises und der grönländischen Gletscher sowie die unkontrollierte Ausbeutung der Fischbestände durch den klimabedingten Rückzug des Meereises.
Im Mittelpunkt des Films steht das Phänomen der Ozeanversauerung, das die Wissenschaftler des GEOMAR in den letzten Wochen untersucht haben.
Zu diesem Zweck wurden neun riesige Reagenzgläser, sogenannte Mesokosmen, in die arktischen Gewässer hinabgelassen, um die Auswirkungen der globalen CO2-Verschmutzung (Kohlendioxid) auf die Meeresumwelt zu untersuchen.
Der wissenschaftliche Leiter der Expedition, Prof. Ulf Riebesell vom GEOMAR, erläutert die Ergebnisse.
