Eberhard Fahrbach received the 2007 Georg Wüst Prize
“Eberhard Fahrbach has covered a wide range of studies to understand the ocean as an essential component of the climate and ecosystem. He conducted his investigations according to the tradition established by Georg Wüst as a combination of well-planned field work and careful analysis of the obtained data. He carried out studies on the dynamics of coastal and equatorial upwelling processes ranging from internal waves to the equatorial current system. After switching to polar oceanography, he focussed his work on the circulation and watermass formation in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean and the Greenland Sea. He dedicated significant efforts to design and build up observation systems in the polar oceans by stimulation of international cooperation and launching new technical developments. Beyond his research he proved his leadership by serving in key international committees and conducting numerous cruises.”
