Goals of the MOSAiC Team with Dr. Benjamin Rabe

In this specific lesson, Dr. Benjamin Rabe talk about the MOSAiC expedition as a whole and what kinds of things scientists will be studying. From observing tiny microorganisms to larger weather patterns, MOSAiC aims to better understand the Arctic system and how it affects change on a global scale.

This video is part of a collection called “Frozen in the Ice: Exploring the Arctic,” offered through the online course platform Coursera, about the extraordinary MOSAiC Arctic research mission that has frozen an icebreaker into the Arctic Ocean, where it will drift for 13 months (mosaic-expedition.org).
