Scientists from the Institute for Biogeochemistry and Marine Chemistry of the University of Hamburg are now investigating the Indian monsoon climate of the past 10,000 years. The objective is to understand monsoon anomalies and improve the prediction of extremes in the future.
Two new research teams started work at the university in July: The MINE project (MINing Environments: continuous monitoring and simultaneous inversion) and the POMPEI Projekt (Physics Of Magma Propagation: a multimEthodological Investigation) have added to the Seismology Department at the Institute...
The KlimaCampus research team of Junior Professor Lars Kutzbach set off in mid July for the Russian Lena Delta. Today the first weekly expedition report arrived:
Prof. Christian Möllmann of the Institute for Hydrobiology and Fisheries Science at the KlimaCampus will receive the American Sustainability Science Award of 2010 for his paper on sustainable fisheries management.
Two expeditions to inhospitable regions - the Russian Komi Republic and the Siberian Lena delta - aim at clarifying how peatlands react to climate change. Starting on 15 July 2010, Professor Lars Kutzbach from the KlimaCampus of the University of Hamburg and his team will be joining other German and...
Simulations at the KlimaCampus show that the oil from the rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico will most probably not reach Europe via the Gulf Stream. Nuno Serra, a physical oceanographer at the University of Hamburg, simulated for the period of one year the trajectories of particles transported by...
Around 5000 visitors toured the research vessel METEOR in Hamburg last weekend, which was at the "Überseebrücke" in Hamburg harbor for three days. In spite of mixed weather, long lines formed with people who wanted to learn about the ship and its technical and scientific equipment.
Researchers from Alfred Wegener Institute and KlimaCampus present forecasts on Sep-tember minimum: A critical minimum for Arctic sea ice can also be ex-pected for late summer 2010. Scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Ma-rine Research in the Helmholtz Association (AWI) in...
Scientists of the KlimaCampus in Hamburg (Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) and University of Hamburg) will be assuming important author functions for the next IPCC Assessment Report. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) named five scientists from Hamburg as so-called...
