A researcher from the KlimaCampus was able to contribute to a significantly better estimation of global oceanic temperatures. This has been shown using a new method published in the scientific journal Deep Sea Research.

The instrumental errors affecting estimates of the global ocean warming can now...

What effect does volcanic ash have on our climate? Up to now, scientists assumed that eruptions with high proportions of sulfur dioxide and which reached high altitudes caused aerosol formation. These aerosol clouds can cool the earth. Another effect, the fertilization of ocean algae, was now...

Springer recently published the book „Seventy Years of Exploration in Oceanography – A Prolonged Weekend Discussion with Walter Munk“.

The editors are Prof. Dr. Hans von Storch, Director at the Institute for Coastal Research of the GKSS Research Centre in Geesthacht, and Prof. emeritus Dr. Klaus...

An international group of scientists and administrators met at the KlimaCampus over six days to discuss joint research perspectives. The topic was "The climate-regulating role of forest-bog ecosystems: landscape-ecological and social aspects".

Reconstructing the regional climate response to external forcings such as volcanic eruptions in the past centuries can help in assessing the skill of climate models to simulate climate changes. This talk will analyze proxy-based reconstructions of temperature anomalies in the US induced by past...

Prof. Dr. Klaus Fraedrich, Meteorological Institute, University of Hamburg, and Max Planck Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology will receive the Lewis Fry Richardson Medal 2010 from the European Geosciences Union (EGU). This honor was established by the EGU in 1997 by the...

At the beginning of April Professor Carsten Eden started in his new position as professor for Theoretical Oceanography at the Institute of Physical Oceanography. This means that the classical fields of dynamical oceanography, theory and modeling have again a Chair for research and teaching - now...

How do dust and increasing air pollution influence the ocean? Against the background of global change since the beginning of industrialization, oceanographers and atmospheric scientists of the BMBF joint research project „SOPRAN - Surface Ocean Processes in the Anthropocene“ are investigating the...

The discussion about the IPCC goes on: Under this title Prof. Dr. Stephen H. Schneider of Stanford University will be giving a lecture at the KlimaCampus on 19 April.

Errors in the last report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the resulting crisis of confidence were the topics of a lively panel discussion yesterday afternoon at the KlimaCampus. Around 350 scientists, journalists, administrators and other guests came to debate on whether...
