A vast array of Arctic internet resources is available. Here we list those with direct links to the Changing Arctic Ocean Programme. An important component of the research in the Programme is international collaboration, and the many Arctic and international organisations that the scientists have contact with are summarised here.

    Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (Federal Ministry of Education and Research), Germany

    The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) coordinates the national marine research programme “MARE:N – Coastal, Marine and Polar Research for Sustainability” under the umbrella of the Research for Sustainable Development Framework Programme (FONA). MARE:N has formulated new joint objectives for future research funding in the coastal, marine and polar regions. The BMBF operates the German research fleet, including the research vessels POLARSTERN, SONNE, METEOR, MARIA S. MERIAN, and another twelve mid-sized and small vessels, which provide crucial information for international climate and ocean predictions. As a result, the fleet supports planning efforts for our society’s future well-being and is an integral part of the FONA programme.
