Once again, two scientists from the University of Bremen have been appointed to the Norwegian Scientific Academy for Polar Research: Professor Olaf Eisen and Professor Kai Bischof received this award in recognition of their contributions to research on the Arctic and Antarctic.
Olaf Eisen, a professor at the University of Bremen in the Faculty of Geosciences and at the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) in Bremerhaven since 2014, has been working on the dynamics and mass balance of the polar ice sheets since completing his doctorate.
Kai Bischof, deputy director of MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen and professor of marine botany in the Faculty of Biology / Chemistry, has been researching the ecophysiology of macroalgae for nearly 30 years, with a particular focus on the underwater vegetation of polar coastal ecosystems.
“Outstanding Contributions to Polar Research”
By welcoming the two Bremen-based scientists, the academy is recognizing their multifaceted and outstanding contributions to polar research. In particular, their work in both polar regions, their leadership role in field research, the development of innovative methods, and interdisciplinary research approaches, as well as their commitment to fostering the next generation of researchers and international collaboration have been highlighted.
Under the patronage of King Harald of Norway, the Norwegian Scientific Academy for Polar Research is the world’s only scientific academy that focuses on the polar regions and the associated challenges across all scientific disciplines and with an international perspective. Other members of the academy from Bremen include the former director of the Alfred Wegener Institute, Professor Antje Boetius, and sea ice physicist Professor Christian Haas, also from the AWI.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
