When it comes to research on global climate change, the coastal ocean is hardly considered – even though it can absorb and store CO2. The reason: our limited computing power. As a result, carbon cycling processes can only be represented on a macro scale. But the carbon content of the coastal ocean can vary widely at smaller...

How much thermal energy does the Earth emit to space? This is a key climatic factor, which the long-wave feedback parameter can lend insights into. A research team led by doctoral candidate Florian Römer from Universität Hamburg’s Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability (CEN) has now spectrally measured it for...

Since this March, meteorologist Dr. Kaah Menang has been a Humboldt Fellow at the CEN. The research scholarship, awarded by the Humboldt Foundation, supports international postdocs and experienced researchers who plan to conduct research in Germany. In the following interview, Menang explains what he’s working on here and...
