By airship to the North Pole -- Zeppelin expedition will survey sea ice in the Arctic
04-12-2007 · EurekAlert!At the core of the project lies the crossing of the North Pole by zeppelin. The airship will be equipped with an electromagnetic sensor developed at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, one of the 15 research centres within the Helmholtz Association. The sensational project of French physician Jean-Louis Etienne is financed by the French oil company Total and will be presented in Berlin on April 5.

Potsdam / Arctic Ocean, July 18, 2007. At the end of August, an unusual expedition under Russian leadership will leave for the Arctic Ocean. One of the participants is Jьrgen Graeser of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, one of the research centres of the Helmholtz Association. For the first time in the history of Russian research using drifting stations, a German researcher will take part in the North Pole drifting station NP-35.

- Researchers setting up observatories to examine changes under the Arctic ice
04-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution are venturing this month to the North Pole to deploy instruments that will make year-round observations of the water beneath the Arctic ice cap. Scientists will investigate how the waters in the upper layers of the Arctic Ocean -- which insulate surface ice from warmer, deeper waters -- are changing from season to season and year to year as global climate fluctuates.

- UNH-NOAA ocean mapping expedition yields new insights into arctic depths
02-11-2008 · EurekAlert!
New Arctic sea floor data released today by the University of New Hampshire and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration suggests that the foot of the continental slope off Alaska is more than 100 nautical miles farther from the US coast than previously assumed.The data, gathered during a recent mapping expedition north of Alaska, could support US rights to natural resources of the sea floor beyond 200 nautical miles from the coast.

- Stanford engineers shed light on the crash of the USS Macon, last of the 'flying aircraft carriers'
10-18-2006 · EurekAlert!
The 1935 crash of the Navy zeppelin USS Macon off the California coast marked an inglorious end to a unique experiment in aviation. The giant airship was one of only two ''flying aircraft carriers'' ever built, and both went down in the ocean without ever seeing combat. In September 2006, 71 years after the Macon plunged into the Pacific, a team of marine researchers, including Stanford engineers, conducted the first detailed survey of the airship's final resting place.
