International Max Planck Research School

The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) and the Universität Hamburg (UHH) jointly run the International Max Planck Research School on Earth System Modelling (IMPRS-ESM) to promote high-quality doctoral research into the Earth's climate system.  The School conducts research in four primary research areas: atmosphere, land, ocean, and the human dimension.[2]

gollark: Hmm, what if you try 10 times?
gollark: If you know someone who knows someone else who knows interesting stuff, that's indirectly pretty good for you.
gollark: Indirect gain is a much harder thing and very relevant.
