The Age of AI: Flow Thinking and maximizing Human Potential
In the age of AI, information is abundant, but new perspectives remain rare. Based on a journey from designer to artist, this seminar explores an artistic way of seeing that […]

The fate of Amazon precipitation after massive deforestation
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 […]
The tide is rising – implications for climate change and adapted human behavior in North German Coastal Archaeology
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, […]
Polar Sea Ice Forecasting Across Scales: Antarctic Fast Ice and Arctic Navigation
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 […]
Reconstructing ice sheets during the last glacial cycle
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 […]
A New Approach to Validating Climate Models
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. […]
Evolution of cooperation in the division of labour on networks
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 […]
Biotic Control – The Overlooked Driver of Blue Carbon Function and Restoration Success?
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 […]
Exploration of ocean biogeochemical cycling through isotopic measurements of organic nitrogen
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) […]
Reconstructing past ENSO variability from Borneo stalagmites: Recent results and ongoing challenges
We invite you to join us on Thursday, September 25, 2025 at 16:00 KST with speaker Dr. Stacy Carolin from the University of Oxford, UK. This online speleothem lecture series at the IBS Center for Climate Physics, Busan, South Korea welcomes […]
