| Summary: | The combination of multi-disciplinary sea ice science and the rising demand of society for up-to-date information and user customized products on climate change emphasis the need for addressing the challenges posed by environmental change in the Polar Regions by means of creating new ways of communication. The new knowledge platform “meereisportal.de” is a contribution to the cross-linking of scientifically qualified information on climate change and focuses deliberately on the theme: “sea ice” in both Polar Regions. With “meereisportal. de” the science opens to changing societal demands and goes new ways of communication between science and society. “meereisportal. de” is the first comprehensive German speaking knowledge platform on sea ice that went online 2013. It was developed in the frame of the Helmholtz Climate Initiative, Regional Climate Change (REKLIM) as a joint project of the University of Bremen (Institute of Environmental Physics) and the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research under the management of the Helmholtz Regional Climate Office for Polar Regions and Sea Level change. This paper describes the concept and the development of the knowledge platform, different usage examples and user-specific products. Moreover, an outlook on the planned activities in the future will be given. Die Kombination der zunehmend multi-disziplinären Meereisforschung und die steigende Nachfrage der Gesellschaft nach aktuellen Informationen und benutzerorientierten Produkten zum Thema Klimawandel erfordert neue Wege der Wissenskommunikation, um den Herausforderungen der zunehmenden Umweltveränderungen, insbesondere in den Polarregionen, zu begegnen. Die neue Wissensplattform “meereisportal.de” ist ein Beitrag zum Vernetzen von wissenschaftlich qualifizierten Fachinformationen zum Thema Klimawandel und fokussiert dabei bewusst auf ein Thema: “Meereis” in beiden Polargebieten. Mit “meereisportal.de” öffnet sich die Wissenschaft gegenüber sich verändernden gesellschaftlichen ... |
