but this is that the immunity is trying to make that dream come true at the alfred vigna institute for polar and marine research in. she's part of a team of scientists who are analyzing the increasing pollution of the oceans they have compiled their results and created an online world map that's accessible to everyone. i mean a tech man's research focuses on the question where does the plastic waste in the oceans come from she's helping to program the litter based databank to present this information in a form that's easy to understand. our basic idea is. and the best way is to create some maps and some graphs litter based is an online database that's open to everyone graphic show the results of more than a 1000 scientific studies on a world map it's easy to see where research expeditions have already taken place. the latest results from the world wide scientific community are regularly fed into the database the aim is to make the global issue of marine pollution more accessible and easily understood including to nonscientists. nowadays. especially because of and people like to have pi

they do that here i few kilometers away at the alfred vigna institute know i'm a station the researchers use 3 d. simulators to collect their daughter on the colony in the long term they hope to produce information on if and how the emperor penguins react to increasing global temperatures. if warming is limited to 1.5 or 2 degrees celcius has agreed in the paris accords this species of penguin could survive and if not they'll be wiped out by. 2100 at the very latest. the scientists measure how much things are warming up on the roof of the research station. they send up weather balloons to collect and send back relevant data. over the coming years the researchers hope to measure what changes and by how much. and so on at this station for example we're not actually seeing any changes in temperature. it's the same at many other stations across antarctica but that's not the case on the antarctic peninsula and there has been a stock rise in temperatures there. to work. that's causing the glacier crusts to melt scientists there of also measure the warming of the water. climate change is alread
