poles are sorted numbered and packed in boxes but what's so important about these samples from spitzbergen that marker just as easily have collected some snow in the french alps. see if it's possible in this part of the arctic offer the warming trend is much stronger than it is in the rest of europe and walked on and we have the data to prove that so spitzbergen provides an excellent environment for us to study the effects of climate change and we can see those objects more clearly here than elsewhere. what's more we can take measurements that are more accurate because there aren't a lot of people here this is from the original more cyclical formal it's a pristine environment and that will help us to study the snow content even more effectively with it where there were comes from for this phenomena. if you aunts glaziers and mountains create a unique look are a tree where scientists can study the effects of human activity on the same bar amount. here klara harper and chloroform are analyzing the water samples that they took yesterday clara really enjoys this part of her research. if i'm hu

and how are they being altered by global warming it's a shoes task but the researchers here at spitzbergen are up to it. it's. clar well trying to estimate the total amount of microbes in this part of the ocean it's spring now and the organisms a multiplying on a massive scale. only experts can spot the algae in this tube full of murky water. good oh yes and right now we're at the height of the spring algal blooms that's when they grow quickly and they're biomass is that it's a peak is to be your muscle harmed by it's right when trees and learn turn green all at once. and it's been like this with 2 or 3 weeks now and it'll probably start dropping off next week you know to get them as they are that we were here we completely missed the spring bloom just like i see water to us my students didn't believe that there was any such thing as a bloom so we're always happy when we catch it in time out from as and we're all there was the ocean. but what if the water gets rough out here. we have as a voter here i've never been seasick as is can i have a very sturdy stomach it has happened when i'm dow

prove that so spitzbergen provides an excellent environment for us to study the effects of climate change or something and we can see those objects more clearly here than elsewhere. what's more we can take measurements that are more accurate because there aren't a lot of people here that's one of which to morsi quickly perform or it's a pristine environment. and that will help us to study the snow content even more effectively cope with it. for this phenomena. if your aunt's place hears and mountains create a unique look are a tree where scientists can study the effects of human activity on the earth's environment. here clara harper and chloroform are analyzing the water samples that they took yesterday clara really enjoys this part of her research. before me a moment it's always exciting to look at things under the microscope. there's containers of water don't seem very interesting at 1st but then you run the water through the filters sit down and take a closer look and there are lots of really beautiful shapes. and i really enjoy this lack. there. of course there's a serious side to thi

that my colleague because flourished has sent us a travel report from spitzbergen. the white fleet andreessen still is not in historic paddle steamers. these days the ship stuck v. in steams along the saxon one route. one last look at greece and skyline. and then it gets rustic. after about an hour i go ashore in and out of oil the city is the center of the sex and wine route. it is one of the smallest and northern most wine growing areas in germany the steep slopes the small palaces and the dry stone walls that's what the region is known for most of the wine produced here is served and consumed locally. the oldest winery in saxony is the whole flu snit's it used to belong to the saxon electors and the most famous of them is the strong is said to have celebrated lavish wine dollars here today organic wines are produced on the hoof lose minutes which you can taste on the terrace. time for a 1st class and a 1st set. you have already prepared something what do we drink let's keep the what the requests welcome drop is a trim ina what is that this is a wine grape that's
