Nov19Seminar by Mark Maslin — Why did we become so smart?
KST 15:00 – 16:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Humans are rather weak compared with many other animals. We are not particular fast and have no natural weapons. Yet Homo sapiens currently number nearly 7.7 billion and influenced almost […]

Seminar by Sreeush M. G. — Understanding the Indian Ocean Carbon Cycle variability via forward and inverse modeling methods
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Indian Ocean exhibits complex biophysical interactions in response to the seasonally reversing monsoons winds. Direct observations and biogeochemistry modeling studies have been employed to parameterize these complex biogeochemical interactions in […]

Seminar by Seoung Soo Lee — Effect of aerosol on instability and convective clouds
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
The conventional understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions, so-called Twomey and Albrecht effects, only focuses on microphysical modifications of clouds by aerosol with no consideration of dynamic responses to aerosol. Numerous recent […]

Seminar by Gerald H. Haug — Ice Ages, Interglacials and a 450ppm CO2 world
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
We argue for a pervasive link between cold climates and polar ocean stratification. In both the Subarctic North Pacific and the Antarctic Zone of the Southern Ocean, ice ages were […]

Seminar by Gerald H. Haug — Climate and Societies
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
High-resolution paloeclimate reconstructions show a strong relationship between climatically induced changes in environmental conditions and social, political, and economic responses in several parts of the world during the past millennia. […]

Seminar by Young-Heon Jo — Ocean research using multi-satellite observations: from climate to micro scales
KST 14:00 – 15:30 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
When Apollo 11 landed on the Moon in July 20, 1969, some of oceanographers imagined global view of oceans from a satellite in a day. Since then, over 6000 satellites […]

Seminar by Juno Hus — A round Earth for Climate Models
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Sunlight drives the Earth’s weather, climate, chemistry, and bio-sphere. Recent efforts to improve solar heating codes in climate models focused on more accurate treatment of the absorption spectrum or fractional […]

Seminar by Daniele Bianchi — Global oceanic emissions of nitrous oxide to the atmosphere: from global patterns to regional-scale processes
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Assessment of the global budget of nitrous oxide (N2O), a major greenhouse gas, is limited by poor knowledge of the oceanic N2O flux to the atmosphere, whose magnitude, variability, and […]
