Dec08Seminar by Dr. Ja-Myung Kim — Response of natural phytoplankton assemblage to two emerging environmental treats (ocean acidification and warming) using controlled mesocosm experiments
KST 15:00 – 16:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
A third of CO2 released by burning fossil fuels since the industrial revolution has ended up in the ocean. The absorbed CO2 subsequently lowers the pH level, and the temperature of the […]

Online seminar by Prof. Jennifer Catto — Midlatitude weather systems and associated hazards in present and future climate
KST 17:00 – 18:00 | Join us online click here
Midlatitude weather systems, such as extratropical cyclones, fronts, and their embedded thunderstorms are vital for the day-to-day variability of precipitation and winds. We have used a number of objective techniques to […]

Seminar by Prof. Adrian McDonald — An unexplored relationship between wet day frequency and precipitation intensity distributions
KST 14:00 – 15:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
This presentation details work within my group which shows that where it rains more often, it also rains harder. When grouping precipitation into regions of similar wet day frequency, regardless […]

Seminar by Prof. Malte Stuecker — The Climate Trio: stochastic climate variability, seasonal cycle, and El Niño
KST 16:30 – 17:30 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Climate variability has distinct spatial patterns with the strongest signal of sea surface temperature (SST) variance residing in the tropical Pacific. This interannual climate phenomenon, the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), […]

Seminar by Prof. Niklas Schneider — The Gulf Stream Convergence Zone
KST 14:00 – 15:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
The Gulf Stream Convergence Zone is a dipole of long-term averages of surface-wind divergence and convergence located over the Gulf Stream’s cold and warm flanks, respectively. This divergence pattern has […]

Online seminar by Dr. Ana Bastos — Compound extreme events from an ecological perspective
KST 16:00 – 17:00 | Join us online click here
Compound events, e.g. drought and heat, can influence ecosystem activity directly, affecting plant functioning, but also indirectly by triggering ecosystem disturbances. These impacts are further modulated by forest condition and […]

Seminar by Dr. Jörg Schwinger — Future climate feedbacks
KST 15:00 – 16:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
We have simulated a large set of idealized simulations with the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM2) to explore the Earth system response to net-zero and net-negative CO2 emissions. Our simulations […]

Seminar by Prof. Hanna Lee — Long lasting greenhouse gas emissions beyond abrupt permafrost thaw event in permafrost peatlands
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Abrupt permafrost thawing is expected to release large amounts of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere, creating a positive feedback to climate warming. There is, however, still large uncertainty in the […]
