The first research center at the MIN faculty: The Center for Earth Systems Research and Sustainability (CEN, Centrum für Erdsystemforschung und Nachhaltigkeit), has now been founded at the Faculty for Mathematics, Informatics, and Natural Sciences (MIN) within the University of Hamburg. A...
Currently, the “Numerical Methods in the Geosciences” group of young researchers, led by Prof. Jörn Behrens, is taking part in a conference on industrial and applied mathematics (SIAM). The conference is in Long Beach, California, from March 21-24.
In addition to the renewal proposal for the climate cluster "CliSAP", the University of Hamburg will go into the second phase of the Excellence Initiative of the German federal and state governments with a cluster proposal in physics.
Innovative, clear research relevant to the climate: The KlimaCampus will for the third year running recognize excellent doctoral dissertations in Climate and Earth Systems Science through the “Wladimir Peter Köppen Award”. Outstanding dissertations with a clear connection to climate research can be...
“The adjustments to the energy system needed to reach the Two-Degree-Goal would presumably cost the international community one-half to two percent of collective GNP,” reported Prof. Hermann Held yesterday in his introductory lecture at the university. That number was originally suggested as early...
The makeup of the continents’ uppermost crust is different from the chemical combination present in deeper parts of the earth’s crust. A newly published study from the KlimaCampus at the University of Hamburg compares the relatively thin layer at the earth’s surface with the complete upper crust for...
A few thousand years ago, the climate was warmer and the Sahara significantly greener than today. Current satellite photos and meteorological data show that a few desert areas are once again becoming greener despite heavy land-use patterns. Is this already a visible sign of global warming? Can past...
Researchers of the University of British Columbia, KlimaCampus (University of Hamburg), University of Utrecht and the USGS have developed the first geodatabase and map of the world outlining the ease of fluid flow through the planet´s porous surface rocks and sediments.
With more than 300,000 users, SAGA is today one of the world’s most extensively wide-spread open source geo-information systems. The “System for Automated Geoscience Analysis” has been in development at the University of Hamburg’s KlimaCampus since 2007.
