On December 27, 2022, Germany’s second largest research vessel, the “SONNE”, will set off for several months on a research cruise to the East Pacific shelf regions of Central and South America. Scientists from the IOW will be in charge of two of the three expedition legs. The first examines human-induced trace substances and pollutants in the sea; the second focuses on the impact of oxygen-depleted conditions in the water column on sea life and on biogeochemical cycles.
