Mar02Seminar by Dr. Phil Glauberman — Developing research on the paleoenvironmental context of Pleistocene human dispersals and occupations in the Armenian Highlands
KST 10:30 – 11:30 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
At the intersection of the Near East and Eurasia, the Armenian Highlands is a crucial region for the study of Pleistocene human dispersals. Indeed, the earliest fossil evidence of human […]

Seminar by Prof. Nili Harnik — Turbulence and waves in a dry and moist tropical planet – Can we get large planetary scale structures from small scale tropical convection?
KST 14:00 – 15:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Satellite image-movies of clouds show an intricate variety of shapes of cloudy-areas moving around and changing constantly, on a multitude of spatial scales. Specifically, we see an organization of convection […]

Seminar by Dr. Ingo Bethke — Atmospheric circulation key driver of observed regional sea level change
KST 10:30 – 11:30 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Anthropogenic ocean warming and land ice melting is certain to cause regional sea level changes with societal impacts. Regional trends from climate models, however, poorly match the 30-year satellite record, […]

Seminar by Dr. Filippa Fransner — Phytoplankton Predictability in NorCPM1
KST 10:30 – 11:30 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Phytoplankton dynamics has been shown to be predictable up to three years ahead in tropical and subtropical seas, while several studies indicate less predictability at higher latitudes. Whether this low […]

Seminar by Prof. Niklas Schneider — A Plea for the Study of Spiciness
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
The evolution of thermal anomalies in the ocean are key to climate fluctuations such as El Nino and longer term decadal variability. Away from the surface, the propagation of thermal […]
