Beschreibung

The Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) is a member of the Helmholtz Association (HGF) and funded by federal and state government.

AWI focuses on polar and marine research in a variety of disciplines such as biology, oceanography, geology, geochemistry and geophysics thus allowing multidisciplinary approaches to scientific goals.

Student Assistant (HiWi) for the marine geology group at AWI (M/F/d)

Background

The behavior of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) under projected anthropogenic warming is a key uncertainty in predicting future sea-level rise due to the influence of strong ice-ocean feedbacks, which are poorly understood.

Reconstructing and disentangling these feedbacks during past warmer-than-present climate states is considered to provide an enhanced basis for improved prediction of future changes in the ice-ocean-climate system.

For such, marine sediment cores collected from the last Polarstern expedition (PS128) will be investigated.

Tasks

General assistance in sample preparation of Antarctic marine sediment cores, such as sample weighting as well as wet and dry sieving
XRF-Scanning (Xray Fluorescence) to determine major and minor elements in sediment cores
Willingness to learn about geochemical methods applied to microfossils

Requirements:

Registered student
Experience in laboratory work
Good English language skills
