Seminar by Dr. Michael EK — Local Iand-atmosphere interaction: Will clouds form?
KST 10:30 – 11:30 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Local land-atmosphere coupling involves interactions between the land-surface and the overlying atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), and in turn with the free atmosphere above. Initiation of fair-weather cumulus requires an increase […]
-
Seminar by Dr. Kyungmin Noh — Redistribution of anthropogenic ocean carbon in response to negative emission
KST 14:00 – 15:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Due to the escalating anthropogenic carbon emission, the anthropogenic carbon has been absorbed and accumulated in the upper ocean through penetration of carbon from the atmosphere. To mitigate the adverse […]

Seminar by Prof. Kelvin Fong — Evaluating Air Pollution Disparities to Inform Environmental Justice
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Air pollution is among the top contributors to the Global Burden of Disease. Communities are exposed to varying levels of air pollution, leading to health inequities. How do we evaluate […]

Seminar by Prof. Fabrice Lambert — Kriging and PINNs: Creating regular grids from non-Gaussian paleoclimatic variables
KST 10:30 – 11:30 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Earth System Models of high (ESMs) and Intermediate Complexity (EMICs) are very useful tools to test hypotheses and perform sensitivity analyses. However, they require regular input fields as boundary conditions […]

Seminar by Dr. Norman J. Steinert — Irreversible seasonal changes of surface water availability after temperature overshoot
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Climate change will significantly affect the future hydrological cycle over land, with major implications for water availability for ecosystems and anthropogenic use in regions that already face severe water scarcity. Previous […]

Online seminar by Prof. Shai Meiri — Winners or losers? How will climate change affect reptiles, and how do we know?
KST 15:00 – 16:00 | Join us online click here
Climate change is one of the main drivers of the decline in global biodiversity. Reptiles are particularly vulnerable to the environmental pressures associated with climate change and global warming, which […]
-
Online seminar by Prof. Christopher E. Doughty — Megafauna extinction, tree species range reduction, and carbon storage in Amazonian forests
KST 11:00 – 12:00 | Join us online click here
During the late Pleistocene and early Holocene 59 species of South American megafauna went extinct. Their extinction potentially triggered population declines of large-seeded tree species dispersed by the large-bodied frugivores with […]
-
Online seminar by Dr. Ian Hatton — The universality of biological mass scaling
KST 09:30 – 10:30 | Join us online click here
The most striking and regular patterns in biology are mass scaling relations or mass distributions. These patterns span the tree of life, from bacteria to whales, as well as multiple […]
