Deforestation in the Amazon has been predicted to cause irreversible forest dieback, primarily due to significant reductions in mean precipitation driven by decreased evapotranspiration. However, these results are based on […]
Since the end of the last ice age around 11.000 years ago, the isostatic sea level is rising due to warming climate and melting of the glaciers. Stone-Age hunter-gatherer groups, […]
The rapid decline of polar sea ice under accelerating global warming is increasingly recognized as a key factor influencing albedo feedback and large-scale ocean circulation. In particular, recent sea ice […]
In this presentation, I will discuss some of the work I have been doing to reconstruct the history of the last glacial cycle (120-6 kyr BP). First, I will introduce […]
This talk presents a new statistical framework for evaluating climate models that captures three key features of climate time series: multivariate dependence, temporal correlation, and the response to external forcings. […]
Atmospheric noble gases dissolve into aquatic systems through gas-water partitioning, resulting in their water concentrations directly reflecting the physical conditions during gas exchange [1]. Consequently, dissolved atmospheric noble gases serve […]
2025 December 8th, IBS Center for Climate Physics (Pusan National University, South Korea) signed an MOU with the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (Bremerhaven Germany) to deepen […]
When a large task is divided into several smaller subtasks, and these subtasks are allocated to different people or groups, then the system is called a division of labour. Division […]
Coastal vegetated habitats such as seagrasses, salt marshes, and mangroves are among the most effective natural systems for capturing and storing carbon in the ocean, collectively known as blue carbon […]
Nitrogen is a crucial nutrient for biological productivity in the upper ocean, and its cycling is sensitive to global climate. The stable nitrogen isotopic ratio (i.e., 15N/14N ratio, or δ15N) […]
