http://dfg-science-tv.de/en/ The oceans are still largely unexplored, yet they have a strong influence on human life. Underway with a camera, the researchers examine the sea in detail, exploring some of the last unknowns on the map: How does the ocean system function? Could tsunamis occur in the greater North Sea region? A fascinating research expedition into the "mare incognita". en Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://dfg-science-tv.de/en/ http://dfg-science-tv.de/bilder/logo_dfg_sciencetv_rss.gif http://dfg-science-tv.de/en/projects/blue-wonder/2008-07-01 Episode: 01.07.2008 - Two dozen computers: From millions of data sets, Dr. Matthias Prange uses computers to generate climate models that simulate the Earth's climate.
