03.04.2025 Girls' Day-Angebot: „Green Job“
Stellst du dir die Frage, wie wir auf den Klimawandel reagieren können? Dann haben wir die Antwort für dich! Klimaschutz bedeutet, dass Menschen sich dafür einsetzen, dass sich das Klima nicht so stark wandelt. Seit der Industrialisierung im 19. Jahrhundert erwärmt sich die Erde. Dies liegt vor allem an Treibhausgasen. Gibt es mehr davon in der Atmosphäre, dann wird es wärmer.
International Spring School NEROGRAV - Registration is open!
”New Refined Observations of Climate Change from Spaceborne Gravity Missions“
March 10-14, 2025 in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Germany
Deadline for application: December 1st, 2024
The spring school will educate a group of 31 Ph.D. students and junior scientists in state-of-the-art satellite gravimetry data processing (e.g. spherical harmonic analysis, filtering /de-striping, global / regional analysis of grid data) and applications of mass transport data in Earth system sciences related with the global water cycle, the oceans, or the cryosphere. A look into the future of satellite gravimetry missions completes the program.
Lectures and practicals will be given by members of the Research Group NEROGRAV* and other key experts in the topics discussed, including Michael Schindelegger and Anne Springer from DETECT.
PrePEP Conference 2025 - Registration is open!

The international conference on ‘Precipitation Processes - Estimation and Prediction (PrePEP)’ to be held 16-21 March 2025 in Bonn, Germany, will bring together scientists contributing with new approaches to improve the monitoring, understanding, nowcasting and prediction of precipitation processes. This includes advancements in integrated multi-sensor observations, their exploitation for parameterization developments, classical or AI-based Nowcasting techniques, microphysical retrieval development, data assimilation, the blending with numerical weather prediction, hydrological flood forecasts and warning strategies.
