Frank Niessen

Dr. Frank Niessen is a Researcher in the Department of Geophysics at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany. His work focuses on sediment physics, glacial history of the Arctic Ocean, and glacial-marine sedimentation processes. He contributes to understanding the geological and climatic evolution of polar regions through advanced geophysical methods.

Research Interests: His expertise spans sediment dynamics, Arctic glacial systems, and the interplay between geological processes and climate. He explores topics like ice-sheet dynamics, sediment transport, and the reconstruction of past environmental changes using geophysical data.

Labs/Teams: Involved with AWI's geophysical research groups and observational systems, including bathymetric surveys and seismic data analysis. Collaborates on projects related to Arctic Ocean exploration and polar environmental monitoring.
