As part of POMOR Orientation Days 2021, POMOR students visited the Institute of Arctic and Antarctic Research and the Russian-German Otto Schmidt Laboratory for Polar and Marine Research on December 1, 2021.
Dr. Vasily Povazhny gave the students a tour of the lab, an overview of the opportunities for young scientists and students in the lab, and showed them the equipment. The meeting was also attended by POMOR graduates Alena Sackovich (2021) and Ivan Alekseev (2017), who are now OSL staff members. The event was held in a hybrid format.
The Russian-German-Swiss expedition ARCTIC CENTURY returned with valuable samples and data to study the effects of climate change in the Russian Arctic. We are pleased that the OSL team was able to contribute to the planning and execution of this important expedition.
How it started
Our cooperation in polar and marine sciences looks back on a long tradition: since 1993, bilateral research activities have included joint terrestrial and marine expeditions as well as a mutual exchange of scientists. Consequently, the vision of a German-Russian laboratory for polar and marine research emerged in the following years. In 1999, this vision was finally realized: the OSL was established at the AARI in St. Petersburg, Russia, in order to bundle the numerous bilateral research efforts and, moreover, to provide advanced qualification for future polar and marine scientists.
