Welcome and Good-bye to parting and newcoming ESSReS students
Three years of scientific cross-over to “bridge the gap between the sciences”, as ESSReS coordinator Klaus Grosfeld put it at the official celebration, move the 22 graduate students “somewhere in the wake of Alexander von Humboldt”, as ESSReS spokesman Gerrit Lohmann said.
Interdisciplinary courses, soft skill studies, excursions and stays at other institutions were part of the ESSReS programme. AWI director Karin Lochte and expressed her congratulations to the young people who had just finished their multidisciplinary studies. Annette Ladstädter-Weißenmeyer and Bernhard Kramer as representatives for the University of Bremen and Jacobs University stressed the meaning of collaboration across the institutions and across the sciences.
At the same time 24 young scientists from different fields were welcomed as the second ESSReS class. “Be prepared for the known, the unknown and the exotic. ESSReS is what you make of it”, said Jacqueline Krause-Nehring for the first ESSReS class. Achim Brauer from the Geoforschungszentrum in his special lecture about climate changes recorded in lake sediments gave handy examples of applied sciences as an outlook onto the young people’s opportunities.
After a very warm good-bye to ESSReS coordinator Grosfeld and his wife Lucie the celebration shifted into a more informal gathering in the AWI foyer were opinions were then exchanged and expectations expressed.
International research in an interdisciplinary context
25 students from 13 countries form the 2nd ESSReS class with its overall idea of linking earth science data and modeling.
The Earth System Science Research School (ESSReS) Programme!
ESSReS is a joint initiave of Alfred Wegener Institute Bremerhaven (AWI), University of Bremen (Uni-HB), and Jacobs University Bremen. New generations of outstanding junior scientists have been trained and prepared in the interdisciplinary field of Earth System Sciences toward a doctoral degree.
The existing research infrastructure at the Alfred Wegener Institute Bremerhaven (AWI), University of Bremen, Institute for Environmental Physics (Uni-HB/IUP), and Jacobs University Bremen offers a unique research environment to study past, present and future changes of the climate system.
ESSReS focusses on the integration of observations, palaeoclimate data, and climate modelling to better understand natural climate variations over a broad range of timescales and disciplines. The overall expertise available in observation, modelling, and reconstruction at the participating institutions provides an extremely solid base for interdisciplinary research. This excellent working and scientific environment provides PhD students with advanced training and research support. The Research School offers world-class educational possibilities thanks to its staff of internationally reknown and highly rated expert scientists.
