Data management
Scientific data acquired on board RV Polarstern has to be archived with AWI operated information systems. They also have to be made available to the scientific community - eventually after a moratorium - via "Open access". This includes on board acquired data, scientific photographs and documentations as well as later acquired data from samples. See section Scientific Devices for a list of shipboard sensors.
Stefanie Schumacher is the responsible person for archiving and eventual publication within the information system PANGAEA, which is also connected to the World Data Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (WDC-MARE).
Peter Gerchow may be contacted about the ingest procedure of data from the central mass storage to PANGAEA.
