Jul16Noble gas analysis in conventional and unconventional aquatic environments - a plea for simplicity
Seminar by Prof. Rolf Kipfer from Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag)
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Atmospheric noble gases enter aquatic systems by gas / water partitioning. Therefore, aquatic noble gas concentrations in waters reflect the physical conditions prevailing during gas exchange. Consequently, applications of dissolved […]

Phase locking, predictability barrier, and coupling in tropical climate
Seminar by Dr. Woosok Moon from Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics
KST 14:00 – 15:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Earth’s orbit and axial tilt imprint a strong seasonal cycle on climatological data. Climate variability is typically viewed in terms of fluctuations in the seasonal cycle induced by higher frequency […]

Natural Variability in a Changing Ocean: Emergence and Impacts
Seminar by Ms. Sarah Schlunegger from Princeton University
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Anthropogenically-forced changes in the ocean are underway and critical for the ocean’s role as a carbon sink and marine habitat. Detecting such changes will require quantification of not only the […]

Multi-Decadal Variability in the Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall: Evidences through Proxy Sources
Seminar by Dr. Ramesh Hiranand Kripalani from Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Based on the analysis of the observed Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) for the period 1871-2000, a 60-year cycle appeared to be evident. However, the decreasing trend in the ISMR […]

Can we predict northern hemisphere land monsoon rainfall a decade in advance?
Seminar by Prof. Bin Wang from University of Hawaii
KST 14:00 – 15:00 | Room 3F – Building of Construction
Predictions of changes of the land monsoon rainfall (LMR) in the coming decades are of vital importance for successful sustainable economic development. Current dynamic models, though, have shown little skill […]
