自2019年9月以来,来自19个国家的600名研究人员组成的团队团结在一起,共同完成一项名为MOSAiC的任务——北极气候研究多学科漂移观测站,其任务是记录北极地区连续一年的状况。这本记录这次不可思议的航行的图文并茂的书收录了著名摄影师Esther Horvath拍摄的精彩图片,她记录了这次探险的每一步。了解研究人员如何通过生存训练为旅程做准备。看他们穿过冰层,建立一个在北极的浮冰上漂流的研究站网络。看他们采集冰样,测量风和温度,研究大气、地形和海洋的每一个元素,以获得有助于影响后代气候科学进程的数据。Horvath的镜头描绘了船上的生活、好奇的北极熊的探访、北极天空的奇观、无尽的风吹雪浪和冰雪,以及地球上最残酷的条件下的美丽和凶残。与这些图片搭配的是参与考察的研究人员的文字和评论。这本令人惊叹的书提供了一个近距离了解近代史上最重要的气候研究项目的机会,帮助读者理解为什么研究北极对我们在这个星球上的生存至关重要。 Follow the expedition of the Polarstern, an Arctic icebreaker that is making exploration history and taking climate research to the next level, through this photographic journey.Since September 2019, a team of 600 researchers from 19 countries have united in a common mission known as MOSAiC— the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate—whose mission is to chart conditions in the Arctic for one continuous year. This illustrated account of that incredible voyage features amazing images from acclaimed photographer Esther Horvath, who documents every step of the expedition. Learn how researchers prepare for the journey with survival training. Watch as they plow through the ice and set up a network of research stations that drift along on a floe across the North Pole. See them take ice samples, measure wind and temperature, and study every element of the atmosphere, terrain, and ocean to obtain data that will help shape the course of climate science for generations to come. Horvath’s camera captures life on board the vessel, visits by curious polar bears, the wonders of the Arctic sky, the endless waves of wind-blown snow and ice, and the beauty and ferocity of some of the most brutal conditions on earth. Accompanying these pictures are texts and commentary by researchers taking part in the expedition. This stunning book offers a front-row seat to the most important climate research project in recent history and helps readers grasp why studying the Arctic is essential to our survival on this planet.
