During his studies at the Universities of Heidelberg (Germany) and Basel (Switzerland) Rainer investigated glacial and periglacial geomorphology in the Canadian High Arctic and Spitsbergen for several months. Read Less For his PhD he studied soil erosion on Naxos Island, Greece. For over 20 years, Rainer was teaching geoscience and biology at the Waldorf School Hannover Bothfeld in Germany for students aged 15 to 19 years. His students took part in a lot of projects dealing with polar science. Students were involved in the PEI Workshops in Hannover 2015 and Rovereto 2017. An important recent polar educational project was STEP (Students Exchange for Polar and Earth Science Education), a collaboration with Matteo Cattadori, Italy in 2017. In 2006 he initiated Polar Educators Germany and is the coordinator since then. Since 2021 he is scientific staff member at the European University Flensburg, Germany.
