	Alfred Wegener
		Wegener also found that the fossils found in a certain place often indicated a climate utterly different from the climate of today: for example, fossils of tropical plants, such as ferns and cycads, are found today on the Arctic island of Spitsbergen.
		Wegener was not the first to suggest that the continents had once been connected, but he was the first to present extensive evidence from several fields.
		Wegener thought that the continents were moving through the earth's crust, like icebreakers plowing through ice sheets, and that centrifugal and tidal forces were responsible for moving the continents.

	AWI: The Alfred Wegener Institute
		The Alfred Wegener Institute conducts research in the Arctic, the Antarctic and at temperate latitudes.
		The Foundation Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research includes the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven the Potsdam Research Unit (1992), the Biologische Anstalt Helgoland and the Wadden Sea Station Sylt.
		It is a member of the Hermann von Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres (HGF); the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) covers 90% of financing, the state of Bremen 8% and the states of Brandenburg and Schleswig-Holstein provide 1% each.

	AWI: Research Unit Potsdam
		The main fields of research of the Potsdam Research Unit are terrestrial geoscience studies in the periglacial regions at the margins of inland ice sheets and in permafrost areas as well as model and experimental investigations of atmospheric processes in the polar regions.
		These studies complete the programme of the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, which is mainly concerned with marine studies and ice-core drilling.
		In particular, the polar researchers at Potsdam concentrate on the Arctic realm, the key to an understanding of European climate.

		The Institute's research mission is to improve our understanding of ocean-ice-atmosphere interactions, the animal and plant kingdoms of the Arctic and Antarctic, and the evolution of the polar continents and seas.
		It sends scientists to other institutes throughout the world, to other research ships and stations, and invites scientists from other nations to cruises aboard "Polarstern", as well as to Bremerhaven and Potsdam.

	Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research
		From the Arctic ice to the bottom of the oceans: Helmholtz scientists working at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Bremerhaven study the poles, the oceans and the climate.
		Research at the Department of "Pelagic Ecosystems" focuses on the interactions taking place between plankton organisms and the biogeochemistry of the ocean.
		Their research work often takes the Helmholtz scientists from Bremerhaven out to sea or even direct to the ice at the North and South Poles.

		Traditionally about 20 courses from different universities are visiting the Wadden Sea Station each year, and generations of biologists made their first excursions to tidal flats around the island of Sylt.
		In 1998 the Station became part of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the frame of the unification of the Biologische Anstalt Helgoland (BAH) and AWI.
		The research of the Wadden Sea Station still focuses on current topics of coastal ecology and geology.

		The 27th research campaign of Bremerhaven's Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research marks the beginning of the summer research season in the Antarctic.
		As part of the global research project 'Census of Marine Life' (CoML), an expedition aboard the research icebreaker Polarstern is currently investigating an oceanic region alongside the Antarctic Peninsula which, for the first time, has become accessible to science after a large section of the Larsen B Ice Shelf collapsed in 2002.
		The 'Census of Antarctic Marine Life' is the largest marine research programme in the Antarctic and hence represents one of the major IPY projects.
