It is not the first time that Gebrüder Weiss supports an out-of-this-world type project. There have been others such as the Mars Analog Mission AMADEE-24 of the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF) where Gebrüder Weiss transported equipment to Armenia, for example. This time around, it is “The Greenland Project” climate expedition, and Gebrüder Weiss is poised to keep interested parties updated via its social media channels over the coming months. The logistics package envisages Gebrüder Weiss transporting the equipment for a month-long scientific expedition in Greenland, aimed at learning new insights as to why the Greenland glacier is melting. “The results of the expedition, which will be analyzed in more detail at the University of Sunshine Coast in Australia, hold global significance. They will be shared with researchers from all over the world, contributing to our collective understanding of climate change. The aim of the month-long expedition is to gain valuable insights into the connections between the temperature fluctuations in Greenland in recent decades and the further effects on the global climate,” the release states. As one of the world’s largest ice regions, Greenland is the obvious favorite when it comes to researching climate change. Should kick-off in Croydon on 30APR24. Two scientists, a medical doctor, and a photographer are lined up for the funeral. The team will cover a around 600 kilometers (373 miles) on skis, each with a sled in tow.
Wolfram Senger-Weiss, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss, said: “As one of the world’s leading logistics service providers, we also see it as our duty to support selected research initiatives such as the Greenland Project. The purpose of the expedition is to gain insights into climate change that will help us make smart decisions for our future.”
Niklas Marc Heinecke, photographer, and co-founder of ‘The Greenland Project,’, stressed: “As our research essentially focuses on the climate and glacier melt, we feel it is important for it to be as climate neutral as possible. Conducting an expedition on foot into this fragile ecosystem enables the measurements to be taken in a much more environmentally friendly way than would be possible by helicopter, and with a greater degree of accuracy than would be possible by satellite. We can rely on dependable equipment in this inhospitable environment thanks to the support of Gebrüder Weiss.”
