Russian-German Cooperation in Polar and Marine
Sciences
Since 1991 Russian and German scientists have jointly investigated
the environmental history of the Siberian Arctic
Area of Laptev Sea System
Atmospheric circulation
German-Russian program
“Laptev Sea System”
includes:
1. Marine project
Pacific Water
“Global Change in Eurasians
Arctic Seas: frontal
zones and polynyas in
the Laptev Sea”
River runoff
2. Terrestrial project
“Samoylov Island
Laboratory: Hydro-biological
investigations
in the Lena Delta and
polygonal lakes”
3. German-Russian project “Otto
Schmidt Laboratory for Polar
and Marine Sciences“
Atlantic Water
1. Project
“Global Change in Eurasians Arctic Seas:
frontal zones and polynyas in the Laptev Sea”
Main goal:
TO STUDY FRONTAL ZONES, POLYNYA SYSTEMS AND ATHERS AS INDICATORS OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY THE
LAPTEV SEA REGION
MAJOR TARGETS:

IDENTIFY THE COPLEX PHISICAL PROCESSES
THAT ARE DRIVING CHANGES IN THE NATURE
OF THE MARINE ENVIROMENT IN THE LAPTEV
SEA
•
ASSES COSEQUENCES OF A CHANGING
PHISICAL ENVIROMENT FOR ARCTIC
ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES
Kapitan Dranitsyn: Laptev Sea, 1995
•
Laptev Sea Flaw Polynya
•
MAJOR DELIVERABLES
Elaborate a conceptual model of the
complex estuaries-seas-Arctic Basinatmosphere system
Creation of models of marine systems as
the basis for diagnosis and long-range
prediction of the change in the state of
the Arctic Seas.
2. Terrestrial project
“Samoylov Island Laboratory: Hydro-biological
investigations in the Lena Delta and polygonal
lakes”
Main goals:
• Hydro-biological investigations
in the Lena Delta and polygonal lakes
(AARI, LDR)
• Geomicrobiology in Periglacial Regions:
Carbon Dynamic and Microbial Communities
• Sensitivity of the permafrost system
under a changing climate
• A multiscale perspective
carbon cycle in polygonal lakes
nitrogen cycle and microbial processes

Paleoclimate project
Main goal:
Paleoclimate investigation

In 2000, the OSL was opened at the State Research Center of the
Russian Federation the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI)
in Saint Petersburg.
It is named after the Russian polar researcher Otto Yulievich Schmidt,
who conducted several polar expeditions during the 1920s and 1930s.
The Otto Schmidt Laboratory for Polar and Marine Research (OSL) is a
milestone in Russian-German cooperation in the field of Arctic
research.
Goals
•
to promote the progress of research and closer
cooperation with scientists from Russia and Germany
•
to develop analitical base for analyses of water, soil
and biological samples
•
to support highly qualified Russian scientists in polar
and marine science
• to educate studets (POMOR-program) and young
scientists organizing summer-schools, training workshops, science meetings
• to initiate and coordinate international research
projects
STRUCTURE OF OSL
• To fulfill its tasks in research and education, the
OSL is equipped with a state-of-the-art laboratory for
polar and marine research, computer workstations
incl. periphery and an international library.
• Meetings and workshops of up to 15 participants
can be accommodated.
•The OSL project is funded by the German Federal
Ministry of Education and Research, the Russian
Ministry of Education and Science, the Arctic and
Antarctic Research Institute, the Alfred Wegener
Institute for Polar and Marine Research, and the
Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences (IFM-GEOMAR).

Joint projects, Expeditions
OSL Fellowship Program

The scientific subject has to be focused on the problems
related to the Russian-German joint scientific projects.

The fellowship program pairs master students, graduated
research assistants, and postdoctoral fellows with
experienced mentors and challenges them to participate in
ongoing research projects.

Research projects (RP) are selected and approved by
OSL Advisory Board (OAB) and financially supported by
BMBF. An individual RP are accomplished by a principal
investigator and 1 or 2 young scientists (Ph.D. students or
students). Additionally the Russian experts can be granted
in order to work out some specific problems in frame of the
RP. These grants provided by OSL will help to involve the
leading scientists into the Laboratory’s work.

The issue of the grants is considered by OAB during its
annual meetings. The grants have one-year duration. This
time can be prolonged up to tree years for the executors of
the RP.
OSL Fellowship-2010
Totally 16 proposals have been applied for competition and 40
members.
According to competition results 13 teams (Principal Investigator + 2
PhD students or students) and 3 individual projects have been

Motivation
Were is she?
On the North Pole in winter?
the Barents Sea in summer?
North Pole, 01.08.07
What happened in the
Arctic Summer 2007?
The Arctic Ocean ice
Cover in summer 2050
The Arctic Ocean
without ice cover?
(in Kerr et al., 2002)
Coupled climate models predict a dramatic decrease
of the ice cover, which could result in a nearly ice
free Arctic Ocean at least during summer
at the end of this century.
Major areas of oil and gas
development and potential
development in the Artic, and major
shipping routes and
possible new routes through Arctic
waters [AMAP, 2006]
What may happen
with the Arctic
infrastructure?
