What are scientists researching in the Arctic? What is it like to live on a research station in the snow in complete darkness? And how is the North Pole changing in the face of global warming?
On November 11, the Humboldt Lab will host a live broadcast to the Arctic. In a special hybrid station, visitors of the exhibition After Nature can talk individually to station manager Fieke Rader and ask her questions.
Fieke Rader is the driving force behind coordinating scientific projects, bringing together different teams and performing essential meteorological measurements. Her responsibilities go far beyond scientific work, as she is also the contact person for public relations and is responsible for the smooth management of station operations.
The challenges of her job include a 15-month wintering period in the isolated and demanding Arctic environment. Through her efforts, she is contributing significantly to furthering our understanding of the Arctic and the impacts of global change.
Environmental scientist Fieke Rader is station manager of the Alfred Wegener Institute’s German-French Arctic Research Station AWIPEV. She studied at the Technical University of Berlin and Wageningen University, specializing in environmental science and technology. On her blog, www.arcticreporter.com, she provides insights into her working environment in the Arctic.
